Original text and translations

English text

Shine brightly through the casement, sun;
Thou gale soft odours bring her;
Ye merry birds that hail the day,
Your sweetest music sing her.
Smile, nature, on her as she wakes,
And hide all sights of sorrow;
And have no sounds but those of joy
To bid my love good morrow.

Good morrow to those lustrous eyes,
With bright good humour beaming;
Good morrow to those ruddy lips,
Where smiles are ever teeming;
Good morrow to that happy face,
Undimmed as yet by sorrow.
Long be thy heart as free from care,
Good morrow, love, good morrow.
