This is almost right, just a little correction, it should be:
Moarns let, de hiele dei let.
Yes, the translation "late in the morning, late for the rest of the day" is
ok
But another plate-inscriptions says:
Dy't moarns foar achten sjongt, moat nei achten gûle.
(If you're singing too early in the morning, you'll have a bad day)

In German, this would be: "Den Vogel, der früh singt, holt abends die Katz'"
(the bird who sings early will be the cat's prey at night).

One Low Saxon (Low German) version:

Den vagel, de 's morgens tou tydig singt, (den) vritt 's avends de kat.
<Den Vagel, de 's Morgens to tiedig singt, (den) fritt 's Avends de Katt.>
