[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

(sung)
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!
