by Johann Gottfried Rudolf Agricola (1762 - 1823)

Werdet wach!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Werdet wach! 
In des Ostens dunkler Ferne  
Löscht das helle Licht der Sterne 
Schon der junge Tag.  

Werdet wach! 
Von der Schlummerstätte schwinget 
Sich die Lerche hoch, und singet 
Ihren Trillerschlag! 

Werdet wach! 
Alles regt sich schon und lebet, 
Alles hüpft und sinnt und strebet  
Neuen Freuden nach. 

Werdet wach!  
Hohe, süße Himmelswonne 
Taucht der Strahl der Morgensonne 
In des Lebens Bach.
