by (Borromäus Sebastian Georg) Karl Reginald Herloß (1804 - 1849), as Karl Herloßsohn

Leuchtendes Auge, Du meine Sonne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Leuchtendes Auge, Du meine Sonne, 
Du meines Lebens strahlende Pracht, 
Engel des Himmels, Lust mir und Wonne, 
Stern, der mich freundlich hat angelacht! 
Meine Marie, ich gesteh' es Dir leis', 
Wie ich Dich liebe, glühend und heiß. 

Könnt' ich ein Wort Deiner Liebe erhalten, 
Das mir Dein purpurner Mund gesteht; 
Rose der Liebe, willst Du Dich entfalten, 
Eh' noch der Glanz meines Daseins vergeht.  --  
Wie ist so nachtumhüllt doch mein Geschick!  
Gönne, Marie, mir nur einen Blick!
