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

Morgenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kein Stimmlein noch schallt von allen
In frühester Morgenstund,
Wie still ist's noch in den Hallen
Durch den weiten Waldesgrund.
 
Ich stehe hoch überm Tale
Stille vor großer Lust,
Und schau nach dem ersten Strahle,
Kühl schauernd 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 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!
