Original text and translations

English text

Peep over the hill,
Golden forerunner of morn;
Scatter the night with its dark and chill,
Burnish the banners of dawn.

Kiss the slumbering earth,
Tell her the day has begun;
For slumber and silence must flee at thy birth,
And life must awake with the sun!
