Original text and translations

English text

Brighter than the rays of morning
That in eastern climes arise,
All they shine upon, adorning,
Are her laughter loving eyes.

Joyous sounds from summer bowers
When the birds at eve rejoice,
Breezes sighing through the flowers
Are all echoed by her voice.

Brighter than the rays of morning
That in eastern climes arise,
All they shine upon adorning
Are her laughter loving eyes.

Heaven bless her, and defend her
From all danger here below,
Joy and happiness attend her,
Such as Angels only know.

Fairer than the lily bending
O’er the stream with bashful grace,
Bathed in dew from Heaven descending
Is her beaming fairy face.

Softer than the bloom of roses,
Trembling in the morning air;
Weeping as the daylight closes
Is her cheek of beauty rare.
