[VI]. Reimar der Alte. Morgenständchen
See original
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 dort Euer im Morgengebet,
Dem Wächter verbeut er zu singen.

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 there thinks of you in his morning prayer;
He forbids the watchman to sing.
