During the unity candle part of the ceremony, I want to surprise my husband with a german song. We are both fans of Herbert, but I do not know Deutsch-I think this would be a lovely surprise for him to hear a song in his native language.

"Morgenrot" is one of his greatest love songs ever.
I'm not an English poet but I tried some translation ;-)
I build for you a bed from roses
The wall made from shiny paper
The room has a golden soil
And the rainbow ends exactly here.
All windows go to the south
With view to the glittering sea
I calm down the waves every day
Dive to bring you back sunken dreams.
Exchange longing against mother-of-pearl
Will laugh and will cry with you
Always have a trump card hidden in the sleeve, that wins.
I will promise you love
If the water stands up to your neck.
Will in very bad times
Spread a net for you to fall in
Stand by your side in the storm, until the wind turns.
I lie for you
Put all tragic things into lovely words
Drive away sadeness once for all time
Mourning will be judged
Will take care there’s always good signs for you.
Every wish will immediately fulfilled.
Even sooner, if you want.
Will be available day and night
Am discreet and keep still.
Life‘s daily grey I pur in the gutter
Doubts will be killed before growing up.
For you it‘s to rain golden coins
And you can be more vain than the sunshine.
Let the air burn for you,
Build dreamcastles into the red morning sky,
Evil ghosts will be beaten up.
I will promise you love...
Only good moods get the permission,
The bad ones immediately dishonored.
Heartache is food for the peace doves,
Problems sweeped under the flying carpet.
I will promise you love...
I lie for you...
Will in very bad times...

I think "halt mich" (hold me) would be the best for this situation!
Its a beautiful love song, in which the man declares his love to the woman in very romantic words. Its also wunderful to play on piano, if there is the opportunity...
Good luck and all the best for you...
