Des Morgens in dem Thaue
Language: German (Deutsch)
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
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
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!
