Our translations:  DUT ENG FRE
Alles kündet dich an!
Erscheinet die herrliche Sonne,
Folgst du, so hoff ich es, bald.

Trittst du im Garten hervor,
So bist du die Rose der Rosen,
Lilie der Lilien zugleich.

Wenn du im Tanze dich regst,
So regen sich alle Gestirne
Mit dir und um dich umher.

Nacht! und so wär es denn Nacht!
Nun überscheinst du des Mondes
lieblichen, ladenden Glanz.

Ladend und lieblich bist Du,
Und Blumen, Mond und Gestirne 
huldigen, Sonne, nur Dir.

Sonne! so sei du auch mir
Die Schöpferin herrlicher Tage;
Leben und Ewigkeit ist's.
