Steige auf, du goldne Sonne
Language: German (Deutsch)
Steige auf, du goldne Sonne, Aus der sturmdurchrauschten Fluth, Lodre, heiße Liebeswonne, Brich hervor, verhaltne Gluth! Ohne Wanken, ohne Schwanken Eine Lust nur und ein Leid Wohnt in Wünschen und Gedanken Und nur eine Seligkeit. Was auf Erden lebt und webet, Und was wandelt durch den Raum, Was die Welle senkt und hebet, Und was singt und klingt im Traum, Alles Wehen, alles Stehen In des Lebens großem Haus, Alles Werden und Vergehen Haucht der Liebe Athem aus. Soll ich leben, muß ich lieben, Und, Geliebte, höre mich: Lieber aus der Welt vertrieben, Als darin sein ohne dich! Wie aus Bahnen laß mich ahnen Aus den Augen mein Geschick, Wie der Liebe leises Mahnen Dulde meinen stummen Blick.

Arise, you golden sun
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Arise, you golden sun From the storm-tossed floodwaters, Blaze, fervent joy of love, Break forth, dammed-up flames! Without wavering, without faltering Only a single joy and a single pain Dwells in wishes and thoughts, And a single blissfulness. What lives and moves upon earth And what wanders through space, What the waves drop and lift, And what sings and resounds in dreams, All blowing, all standing still In the great house of life, All becoming and dissolving Is exhaled by the breath of love. If I should live, then I must love, And, beloved, hear me: I would rather be driven out of the world, Than be in it without you! As from pathways grant me insight into My fate through your eyes, Like the quiet reproaches of love, Endure my mute gaze.
