Paroles
1. Free from slumber, free from care,
Free from thoughts of sadness,
Let us greet the morning air,
With a song of gladness,
With a song of gladness.
2. While the music of the grove
On the ear is stealing
Thoughts of friendship and of love
Waken tender feeling.
3. Lo, the drops of pearly dew
Upward are ascending
And flowers with golden hue
On the stalk are bending.
4. Fragrance fills the gentle breeze
Now incessant blowing :
While beneath the forest trees
Gentle rills are flowing.
5. In the pastures fresh and green
Flocks and herds are straying.
Sol without a cloud is seen,
Light and warth conveying.
6. See all nature join is praise
Earth, and air, and ocean !
Upward then to heaven we'll raise
Songs of true devotion.
