Der Nebel weicht! Die Berge schaun Auf's Land so klar, so klar! Die Sonne lacht! Die Lüfte blaun Durchsichtig, wunderbar! Die sanften, milden Tage noch, O komm! sie winken dir: Im Morgenglanz wie schön ist doch Der Auen letzte Zier! Und blühn die Bäume nimmermehr, Ei! stehn sie glühend roth! Und schied auch längst der Vögel Heer, Ist jeder Sang nicht todt! Die sanften, milden Tage noch, O komm! sie winken dir: Im Morgenglanz wie schön ist doch Der Auen letzte Zier! Geschwind! eh braust der Sturm durch's Land, Verhallt der letzte Gruß! Und bald, ach! unter'm Scheegewand Die Flur nun schlafen muß! Die sanften, milden Tage noch, O komm! sie winken dir: Im Morgenglanz wie schön ist doch Der Auen letzte Zier!

The mists recede! The mountains gaze Upon the land so clearly, so clearly! The sun laughs! The airs become Transparently blue, wondrously! The soft, mild days yet, Oh come! they beckon you: For how lovely is the last adornment Of the meadows in the morning radiance! And though the trees no longer blossom, Ah! they stand glowingly red. And though the host of birds has long departed, All singing is not dead! The soft, mild days yet, Oh come! they beckon you: For how lovely is the last adornment Of the meadows in the morning radiance! Make haste! before the storm roars through the land, The last greeting shall die away! And soon, ah! under a snowy garment The meadow must now sleep! The soft, mild days yet, Oh come! they beckon you: For how lovely is the last adornment Of the meadows in the morning radiance!
