Morgens
Language: German (Deutsch)
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.

Le matin
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Donne-moi un petit baiser du matin !
Tu as assez de repos ;
Et vite mets dans leurs chaussures
Tes graciles petits pieds !
Maintenant secoue de ton front
Les traces délavées de tes rêves !
L'astre d'or éclaire
La campagne depuis longtemps.
Les roses de ton jardin
Ont jailli dans la lumière du soleil ;
C'est à peine si elles peuvent attendre
Que ta main les cueille.
