by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)

Palmsonntagmorgen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT FRE
Es fiel ein Thau vom Himmel himmlisch mild,
Der alle Pflanzen bis zur Wurzel stillt;
   Laß dein Sehnen,
   Laß die Thränen!
Es fiel ein [Thau der alles Dürsten stillt]1.

Ein sanftes Sausen kommt aus hoher Luft,
Still grünt das Thal und steht in Veilchenduft;
   Göttlich Leben
   Fühl' ich weben,
[Ein sanftes Sausen kommt aus hoher Luft]2.

Wie Engelsflügel blitzt es über Land;
Nun schmück' dich Herz, thu an ein rein Gewand! 
  Sieh, die Sonne
  Steigt in Wonne,
Wie Engelsflügel blitzt es über Land.

Macht [weit]3 das Thor! Der König ziehet ein,
Die Welt soll jung und lauter Friede sein;
  Streuet Palmen!
  Singet Psalmen!
[Hosannah]4 singt, der König ziehet ein.
