Der Morgen ist erwacht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es steigt am Himmel
Die Sonne empor,
Es singt im Walde
Der Vögelein Chor. --
Nun ist zu Ende gangen
Die rabenschwarze Nacht --
Der Morgen, ja der Morgen,
Der Morgen ist erwacht!
Und immer höher
Die Sonne steigt,
Im Feld und Walde
Der Nebel weicht.
Nun wird es immer heller
Ja heller und heller mit Macht --
Der Morgen, ja der Morgen,
Der Morgen ist erwacht!

The morning has wakened!
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Upon the heavens
The sun is rising,
In the forest the choir
Of birdlets is singing. --
Now has ended
The raven-black night --
The morning, yes the morning,
The morning has wakened!
And the sun climbs
Ever higher,
In field and woods
The mists are receding.
Now it grows ever brighter,
Yes, powerfully brighter and brighter --
The morning, yes the morning,
The morning has wakened!
