Du bist vom Schlaf erstanden Und wandelst durch die Au. Da liegt ob allen Landen Der Himmel wunderblau. [So lang du ohne Sorgen Geschlummert schmerzenlos]1, Der Himmel bis zum Morgen Viel Tränen niedergoß. In stillen Nächten weinet Oft mancher aus dem Schmerz, Und morgens dann [ihr]2 meinet, Stets fröhlich sei sein Herz.

You have risen from sleep and are wandering through the meadow. There lies over all the land Heaven's wondrous blue. As long as, free from cares, you've been slumbering without pain, Heaven has, since morning, shed many tears. In silent nights, many weep from pain, and in the morning you assume their hearts are always light.
