by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Morgenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kein Stimmlein noch schallt von allen
In [frühester]1 Morgenstund,
Wie still ist's noch in den Hallen
[Durch den]2 weiten Waldesgrund.
 
Ich stehe hoch überm Tale
Stille vor großer Lust,
Und schau nach dem ersten Strahle,
Kühl [schauernd]3 in tiefster Brust.
 
Wie sieht da zu dieser Stunde
So anders das Land herauf,
Nichts hör ich da in der Runde
Als von fern der Ströme Lauf.
 
Und [ehe]4 sich alle erhoben
Des Tages Freuden und Weh,
Will ich, Herr Gott, dich loben
Hier einsam in stiller Höh. -
 
Nun rauschen schon stärker die Wälder,
Morgenlicht funkelt herauf,
Die Lerche singt über den Feldern,
Schöne Erde, nun wache auf!
