1 What glad morning song in the wood do I hear?
O birdie, dear birdie, I pray thee come near!
My song is as fresh and as joyful as thine,
O birdie, then come thou, and hearken to mine!
O thou world so fair, O thou world so gay!
O thou beautiful. beautiful time of May!
2 O birdie, dear birdie, I pray thee come near;
From gladness of heart flows the song thou dost hear.
Come, warble and sing, as if vieing with me,
Thy own dainty song, which was taught me by thee.
O thou world so fair,…
3 We sing and rejoice both by day and by night,
Not knowing how long we may keep our delight.
O birdie, O birdie, the hours haste away,
O sing thou, and love thou, while yet it is May.
O thou world so fair,…
Translation by John Troutbeck
