¶Liedtext

When the Dawning twilight Wakes up drowsy day, Forth of heaven’s high portals, Bounds the lark away, Earthly music mingling With the angels’ lays, Loud and long he wafteth Nature’s grateful praise! When, in dazzling glory Reigns the orb of day, Over mead and mountain, With majestic sway, In the covert hiding, From his searching gaze, Blackbird, thrush, and linnet, Lift their choral praise! When eve’s mystic gleaming Floats o’er earth her veil, In the dreamy thicket, Pipes the nightingale; Heed, proud man, the lesson Which this truth conveys, And with heart untiring Sound thy Maker’s praise!
