In erster Morgenfrühe heb' ich mich
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
In erster Morgenfrühe heb' ich mich
und blicke starr und selig auf das Meer.
In erster Morgenfrühe seh' ich dich!
Du wandelst groß und träumend auf dem Meer.
Es steigt mein Geist, es schallt hoch eine Glocke,
es fliegt ein wildes Flimmern übers Meer!
Da zeigst du mir zwei morgenrrote Hände.
Und zeigst mir blutige Furchen auf dem Meer.

In the earliest hours of morning I arise
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
In the earliest hours of morning I arise
and gaze fixedly and blissfully upon the sea.
In the earliest hours of morning I see you!
Grand and dreaming, you walk upon the sea.
My spirit rises, a treble bell tolls,
a wild flickering flies over the sea!
You show me two hands red with the glow of morning.
And show me bloody furrows upon the sea.
