Des Morgens in dem Thaue, Da ist die Wiese schön, Da glänzen Wald und Aue Und alle Bergeshöhn. Des Morgens in dem Thaue, Da geh ich weit hinaus, Und von dem Hügel schaue Ich in das Thal hinaus. Des Morgens in dem Thaue Da zog mein Schatz in's Thal, Ach Gott, nun glänzt die Aue, Als wären's Thränlein all!

Of a morning in the dew The meadow is lovely, Forest and lea sparkle And all the mountain heights. Of a morning in the dew I wander far out [into the distance] And from the hill I gaze Out into the valley. Of a morning in the dew My beloved travelled off into the valley, Ah God, now the meadow gleams As it if were all tears!
