Du bist vom Schlaf erstanden
Und wandelst durch die Au.
Da liegt ob allen Landen
Der Himmel wunderblau.

Weißt nicht, daß, als ohn' Sorgen 
Du schliefest schmerzenlos,
Der Himmel bis zum Morgen
Viel Tränen niedergoß.

In stillen Nächten weinet
Oft mancher aus dem Schmerz,
Und morgens dann man meinet,
Stets fröhlich sei sein Herz.

You have risen from sleep

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Triest)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

You have risen from sleep
and are wandering through the meadow.
There lies over all the land
Heaven's wondrous blue.

As long as, free from cares,
you've been slumbering without pain,
Heaven has, up until the morning,
shed many tears.

In silent nights,
many weep from pain,
and in the morning you assume
their hearts are always light.
