Original text and translations

English text

Casting aside the mantle of night,
Earth in her beauty gladdens the sight;
Dewdrops like gems the landscape adorn,
Hail to thy brightness, beautiful morn!

Beautiful morning, we welcome thee,
Beautiful, beautiful morn.

Streamlet and river, valley and plain,
Robed in the sunlight, charm us again;
Music resounds from garden and grove,
Hymns of the morning wafted above.

Nerved for the cares and toils of the day,
Let us to labor hasten away;
Sowers and reapers loudly demand
Help from the heart, and help from the hand.

Now in life’s morning do all you can,
Cheerfully toil, and hopefully plan;
Grace with good deeds your beautiful morn,
Joy shall be yours though weary and worn.
