On morning bright and shining
Heinrich Esser
On morning bright and shining,
there rings clear through the vale,
"Wake up, beloved flower,
I am the ray of sun!
"Now open confidently
your little blossom heart
and let my burning love-beams
into your holy shrine.
"I nothing more require
than to lie upon your chest
and on your bloom lay kisses
'till in the moss you droop.
"I nothing more desire
than to sleep up on your breast
and thus I will transform you
with sunshine's shining joy."
