Original text and translations

English text

When pearly dew, at early dawn,
Hangs pendant from the blooming thorn,
The lark, to usher in the morn,
Awakes the feather'd throng.

Borne upwards on her tender wings,
As from the sod she eager springs,
In softest numbers sweetly sings
Her grateful morning song.
