Guten Morgen, schöne Müllerin! Wo steckst du gleich das Köpfchen hin, Als wär' dir was geschehen? Verdrießt dich denn mein Gruß so schwer? Verstört dich denn mein Blick so sehr? [So]1 muß ich wieder gehen. O laß mich nur von ferne stehn, Nach deinem lieben Fenster sehn, Von ferne, ganz von ferne! Du blondes Köpfchen, komm hervor! Hervor aus eurem runden Thor, Ihr blauen Morgensterne! Ihr schlummertrunknen Äugelein, Ihr thaubetrübten Blümelein, Was scheuet ihr die Sonne? Hat es die Nacht so gut gemeint, Daß ihr euch schließt und bückt und weint Nach ihrer stillen Wonne? Nun schüttelt ab der Träume Flor, Und hebt euch frisch und frei empor In Gottes hellen Morgen! Die Lerche wirbelt in der Luft, Und aus dem tiefen Herzen ruft Die Liebe Leid und Sorgen.
J. Lang sets stanza 1

Good morning, beautiful miller-maid! Why do you so promptly turn your little head, As if something has happened to you? Do you dislike my greetings so profoundly? Does my glance disturb you so much? Then I must go on again. O let me only stand from afar, Watching your dear window, From afar, from quite far away! Your blonde little head, come out! Come out from your round gate, You blue morning stars! You slumber-drunk little eyes, You flowers, troubled with dew, Why do you shy from the sun? Has night been so good to you That you close and bow and weep for her quiet joy? Now shake off the gauze of dreams And rise, fresh and free in God's bright morning! The lark warbles in the sky; And from the heart's depths, Love calls away suffering and worries.
