Erwachen
 (Sung text for setting by H. Sommer)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
Hell schmetternd ruft die Lerche
Mich aus dem Traume wach,
Es grüßt im Morgenschimmer
Der junge Frühlingstag.

Im Garten rauscht die Palme
Geheimnißvoll bewegt,
An's ferne Meeresufer
Die Brandung schäumend schlagt,

Und ehern blau der Himmel,
Und gülden der Sonnenschein,
Mein Herz, was willst du weiter?
Stimm' in den Jubel ein!

Und sing' ein Lied zum Preise
Deinem alten Gott und Herrn,
Er hat dich nie verlassen,
Du nur, du bist ihm fern.
