Our translations: FRE
Nun gieb ein Morgenküßchen! Du hast genug der Ruh; Und setz dein zierlich Füßchen Behende in den Schuh! Nun schüttle von der Stirne Der Träume blasse Spur! Das goldene Gestirne Erleuchtet längst die Flur. Die Rosen in deinem Garten [Sprangen]1 im Sonnenlicht; Sie können [kaum]2 erwarten, Daß deine Hand sie bricht.
