Lyrics
A beautiful morning is breaking
With wonder and light, now the sun
The whole world from slumber is waking
And kissing the flowers each one
Sweet raptures of life now are leaping
The roses have open’d their eyes
But thou my beloved, still are sleeping
In vain are my tears and my sighs
Wake my belov’d, each shadow rending
Come like the sunshine, golden and gay
When thou art absent, night seems unending
When thou are near me, lo’ tis the day
Wake my belov’d, each shadow rending
Come like the sunshine, golden and gay
When thou art absent, night seems unending
When thou are near me, lo’ tis the day
