by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Wie singt die Lerche schön
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Wie singt die Lerche schön
Im Tal und auf den Höh'n,
Wenn der Morgen graut,
Und die Blümlein 
  Frischbetaut,
Harren auf den Sonnenschein!

So sing, mein Herz, nun auch
Beim frischen Morgenhauch.
Hast du auch gewacht
Unter Gram und Pein
  Diese Nacht --
Dein auch harrt ein Sonnenschein.
