[VI]. Reimar der Alte. Morgenständchen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Wo liebende Herzen sich innig vermählt,
Hat Reimar, der Alte, niemals gefehlt,
Sein Tagelied hütend zu bringen.
Wenn früh ob dem Bergfried die Sonne ersteht,
Gedenkt er erst Euer im Morgengebet,
Dem Wächter verbeut er zu singen.

[VI]. Reimar the Ancient. Morning Serenade

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Where loving hearts have ardently united themselves,
Reimar the Ancient has never neglected
To present his dawn song solicitously.
When the sun rises early above the tower-keep
He first thinks of you in his morning prayer;
He forbids the watchman to sing.
