Holde Rose, steh' auf
 (Sung text for setting by W. Taubert)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Steh' auf und öffne das Fenster schnell,
Es lacht der Morgen so frisch, so hell,
Und unten im kleinen Garten
Sind Leute, die Deiner warten.
Steh' auf, steh' auf, steh' auf!

Die Veilchen kamen über Nacht,
Hoffärtig breit sich die Tulpe macht,
Und träumend auf und nieder
Schwankt schon der blaue Flieder.
Steh' auf, steh' auf, steh' auf!

Die Armen haben keine Ruh',
Sie blicken an's Fenster immerzu,
Sie glauben nicht an des Lenzes Wehen,
Bis sie die holde Rose gesehen.
Holde Rose, steh' auf, steh' auf!

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the word "Ärmsten" becomes "Aermsten", but as can be seen in how "über" becomes "Ueber" when capitalized, this is due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, so we use "Ärmsten".
