Wie im Morgenglanze Du rings mich anglühst, Frühling, Geliebter! Mit tausendfacher Liebeswonne Sich an mein Herze drängt Deiner ewigen Wärme Heilig Gefühl, Unendliche Schöne! Daß ich dich fassen möcht' In diesen Arm! Ach an deinem Busen Lieg' ich und schmachte, Und deine Blumen, dein Gras Drängen sich an mein Herz. Du kühlst den brennenden Durst meines Busens, Lieblicher Morgenwind! Ruft drein die Nachtigall Liebend nach mir aus dem Nebelthal. Ich komm', ich komme! Ach wohin, wohin? Hinauf strebt's, hinauf! Es schweben die Wolken Abwärts, die Wolken Neigen sich der sehnenden Liebe. Mir! Mir! In eurem Schoße Aufwärts! Umfangend umfangen! Aufwärts an deinen Busen, Alliebender Vater!

Hoe in 't morgenzonlicht Jij alom mij toestraalt, Lente, Geliefde! Met duizendvoud'ge liefdegolven Dringt in mijn hart naar binnen Van jouw eeuwige warmte 't Heil'ge gevoel, Oneindige Schone! Kon ik omvatten jou Met deze arm! Ach, dicht aan jouw boezem Lig ik en hunker, En al jouw bloemen, jouw gras Persen zich aan mijn hart. Jij koelt de brandende Dorst in mijn binnenst, Lieflijke morgenwind! Daar roept de nachtegaal Minziek naar mij uit het neveldal. Ik kom, ik kom al! Ach Waarheen, ach, waarheen? Ach Waarheen! De wolken, zij zweven Neerwaarts, de wolken Nijgen naar de smachtende liefde. Hier! Hier! Op jullie vleugels Opwaarts! Omstreng'lend omstrengeld! Opwaarts, omhoog naar jouw boezem, Alminnende vader!
