Original text and translations

English text

Good morrow to the hills again,
Good morrow to the lea;
Good morrow to the hollow glen,
And to the greenwood tree!
The ringdove leaves her ivy bower,
The seamew quits the sea;
The skylark in his sun-bright tower
Is chanting merrilie!

Good morrow to the dappled skies,
Good morrow to the lake;
Good morrow to the melodies
The praiseful torrents make!
The river blue– the waterfall–
The small brook on the lea, –
Good morrow to them, one and all,
The beautiful– the free!
