Morgenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Süß lächelnd, ein vergnügtes Kind,
Begrüßt das Licht die Flur;
Ihm folgt der junge Morgenwind 
Auf duft'ger Blumenspur.

  Da schwebt in's klare Frühlingsreich 
Ein Silberglockenton,
Dem zarten Ruf der Liebsten Gleich:
"Mein Herz, es heitert schon!"

  Aus grünen Feldern, reich bethaut,
Die Lerche singend schied,
Und wo die Höh' am reinsten blaut 
Verklingt ihr Morgenlied.

Confirmed with Gedichte von Georg Steiger, Zürich: Verlag von Cäsar Schmidt, 1879, pages 47-48.
