Der munt're Hirt versammelt nun
Language: German (Deutsch)
Aria: Simon Der munt're Hirt versammelt nun die frohen Herden um sich her; zur fetten Weid' auf grünen Höh'n treibet er sie langsam fort. Nach Osten blickend steht er dann auf seinem Stabe hingelehnt, zu seh'n den ersten Sonnenstrahl, welchem er entgegenharrt. Hanne Die Morgenröte bricht hervor; wie Rauch verflieget das leichte Gewölk; der Himmel pranget in hellem Azur, der Berge Gipfel in feurigem Gold.
