Dieses ist ein rechter morgen ·
Warmer hauch um baum und bach
Macht dein ohr für süsse schwüre
Süsse bitten schneller wach
Die ich sorgsam dir verborgen.
Nicht mehr wär ich stumm und zag:
Wandelten wir jetzo beide
An dem immergrünen hag.
Spräche dir von meinem eide
Und vom lob das dir gebühre.

C'est un vrai matin

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

C'est un vrai matin
Une brise tiède autour des arbres et le ruisseau
Rendent ton oreille pour de doux serments
Et de douces prières plus prompte à écouter
Sur ce que soigneusement je t'ai caché
Je ne voudrais plus être muet et timide :
Si nous deux nous marchions maintenant
Le long de la haie toujours verte
Je te parlerais de mon serment
Et de la louange qui t'es due.
