Morgengruß
 (Sung text for setting by J. Gessinger)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Das ist der Morgen, den ich grüße!
Mein Morgen.
Sanft steigt er aus den Hügeln auf.
Die Riesenfittiche beleben sich 
Voll roter Rosen, 
Wenn er aus dämmerdunkelem Ei 
Der Nacht mit einem kühnen
Unwirklich großen Schwung sich löst 
Und seine Schritte durch die Allmacht dröhnen,
Daß selbst die alte Mutter Sonne
Ihm zu begegnen sich erhebt.
Das ist der Morgen, den ich grüße!
 ... 
Sanft streichelt er die durstigen Halme
Und läßt die dürren trinken 
Aus seiner gütevollen weißen Hand.
