by August Gottlieb Meißner (1753 - 1807)

Wach auf, geliebter Schläfer!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wach auf, geliebter Schläfer! 
Wach auf, die Liebe ruft.
Weckt dich die Silberstimme,
Weckt dich der Rosenfittig
Der holden Göttinn nicht?

Durch stiller Schatten Dunkel
Sucht einsam dich mein Blick;
Streckt einsam meine Rechte
Sich hin nach dir, du Trauter!
Wach auf, die Liebe ruft!
