Es steigt am Himmel Die Sonne empor, Es singt im Walde Der Vögelein Chor. -- Nun ist zu Ende gangen Die rabenschwarze Nacht -- Der Morgen, ja der Morgen, Der Morgen ist erwacht! Und immer höher Die Sonne steigt, Im Feld und Walde Der Nebel weicht. Nun wird es immer heller Ja heller und heller mit Macht -- Der Morgen, ja der Morgen, Der Morgen ist erwacht!

Upon the heavens The sun is rising, In the forest the choir Of birdlets is singing. -- Now has ended The raven-black night -- The morning, yes the morning, The morning has wakened! And the sun climbs Ever higher, In field and woods The mists are receding. Now it grows ever brighter, Yes, powerfully brighter and brighter -- The morning, yes the morning, The morning has wakened!
