Frühlingsmorgen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Wolken sind verflogen,
Verflogen über Nacht!
Der Frühling kommt gezogen
Mit aller Wonn' und Pracht.
Horch! ringsum welch ein Klingen,
So hell, so morgenklar:
Heb' an auch du zu singen,
Und bring' ein Lied ihm dar!
Froh, wie die Bäume lachen
Vom Fels in's Land hinaus,
O! sollst auch du erwachen,
Mein Herz, nach allem Graus!
Und wie die Bäche rinnen
Am Weg im Sonnenglanz,
O stell', o stell dein Sinnen
Auf Lust und Freude ganz!
Frisch, wie die Wälder sausen,
Keck, wie die Mailuft zieht,
Laß rauschen und laß brausen
Dein helles Morgenlied!
Auf, auf! und laß' es klingen!
Es lauschen alle Höhn,
Und heben an zu singen:
Wie ist die Welt so schön!

Springtime morning
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The clouds have vanished,
Vanished overnight!
Spring is coming along
With all its bliss and splendour.
Hark! what a ringing all about,
So bright, so morning-clear:
You, too, begin to sing
And offer a song to [springtime]!
As joyfully as the trees laugh
From the rocks into the land,
Oh! thus you, too, should awaken,
My heart, after all the horror!
And as the brooks run
Along the path in the sun's radiance,
Oh fix, oh fix your musings
Utterly upon joy and happiness!
As briskly as the woods sough,
As jauntily as the May breezes pass,
Let sweep forth and roll out
Your bright morning song!
Arise, arise! and let it resound!
All the heights are listening,
And begin to sing:
How beautiful is the world!
