[FRAULEIN KOST (spoken)]

Herr Ludwig! You are not leaving so early?

[ERNST]

I do not find this party amusing.

[FRAULEIN KOST]

Ah- but it is just beginning. Come, we will make it

amusing- you and I- Ja?

Herr Ludwig- this is for you:

The sun on the meadow is summery warm.

The stag in the forest runs free.

But gather together to greet the storm.

Tomorrow belongs to me.

The branch of the linden is leafy and

Green,

The Rhine gives its gold to the sea.

But somewhere a glory awaits unseen.

Tomorrow belongs to me.

Herr Ludwig! Sing with me!

[FRAULEIN KOST AND ERNST]

The babe in his cradle is closing his eyes

The blossom embraces the bee.

But soon, says a whisper;

"Arise, arise,

Tomorrow belongs to me"

[FRAULEIN KOST]

Everybody!

[ALL (except FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER, SCHULTZ, CLIFF and SALLY, who stand watching)]

Oh Fatherland, Fatherland,

Show us the sign

Your children have waited to see.

The morning will come

When the world is mine.

Tomorrow belongs to me!
