Christina Rossetti, Kookoorookoo!
Sing-Song V
“Kookoorookoo! kookoorookoo!”
Crows the cock before the morn;
“Kikirikee! kikirikee!”
Roses in the east are born.
“Kookoorookoo! kookoorookoo!”
Early birds begin their singing;
“Kikirikee! kikirikee!”
The day, the day, the day is springing.
Sing-Sang V
Kukuruku! Kukuruku!
Hähne krähn im Dämmergrau.
Kirikiri! Kikiriki!
Rosen weckt der helle Tau.
Kukuruku! Kukuruku!
Frisches Vogelzwitschern schrillt.
Kirikiri! Kikiriki!
Der Tag, der Tag, der Tag, er quillt.
