by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Ich komme heim aus dem Sonnenland!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Ich komme heim [aus dem]1 Sonnenland!
Ich bin den ganzen blühenden Tag
In [lauter]2 Schönheit gegangen!
[Nun]3 fliegts mir um Stirn und Wangen,
[Noch wie]4 ein verklärter seliger Schein...
Sieh' mir nicht so in die Augen hinein,
Sonst nimmt er dich auch gefangen;
Dann kommen wir nicht von einander los,
Und schauen uns an, so sehnsuchtsgroß,
[Finden]5 aus lachendem [Märchenglück]6
Nie mehr den Weg [in das]7 Leben zurück.
