The golden morning

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Golden, the morning laughs and glows
Over the heights in the green of May.
And [you, soul, brood]¹, full of anxieties,
And yet the world is so beautiful!
Little birds sing, bells ring,
The [light of blossoms flames]² through the land.
Cast your [hesitations and your laments,
Heart,]³ into this fire of joy!

¹ Wolf: "the soul breaks"
