Mein Auge
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Du bist mein Auge! -- Du durchdringst mich ganz,
mein ganzes Wesen hast du mir erhellt,
mein ganzes Leben du erfüllt mit Glanz,
mich Strauchelnden auf sichern Pfad gestellt!
Mein Auge du! -- Wie war ich doch so blind
an Herz und Sinn, eh' Du dich mir gesellt,
und wie durchströmt mich jetzt so licht, so lind
verklärt der Abglanz dieser ganzen Welt!

Mes yeux
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Tu es mes yeux ! tu me transperces complètement
Tu as éclairé tout mon être,
Tu as empli toute ma vie de lumière,
Tu m'as mis, titubant sur un chemin sûr !
Toi, mes yeux ! comment étais-je si aveugle
De cœur et d'esprit avant que tu me rejoignes,
Et à présent je suis comme clairement et doucement irradié,
Transfiguré par le reflet du monde entier.
