Morgenlied

Steht auf, ihr lieben Kinderlein,
Der Morgenstern mit hellem Schein
Läßt [sich sehn]1 frei gleich wie ein Held
Und leuchtet in die ganze Welt.

Sei willkommen, du lieber Tag,
Vor dir die Nacht nicht bleiben mag,
Leucht uns in unsre Herzen fein
Mit deinem himmelischen Schein.

from Des Knaben Wunderhorn , "Morgenlied"
