by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)

Morgens
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Nun gieb ein Morgenküßchen!
Du hast genug der Ruh;
Und setz dein zierlich Füßchen
Behende in den Schuh!

Nun schüttle von der Stirne
Der Träume blasse Spur!
Das goldene Gestirne
Erleuchtet längst die Flur.

Die Rosen in deinem Garten
[Sprangen]1 im Sonnenlicht;
Sie können [kaum]2 erwarten,
Daß deine Hand sie bricht.
