by Richard Volkmann (1830 - 1889), as Richard Leander

Mein Lieb', dein holdes Angesicht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Lieb', [dein]1 holdes Angesicht, 
Das leuchtet wie der Tag, 
Das leuchtet wie der Sonne Licht, 
Die jeden laben mag. 

Und stieg' von ihrer stolzen Wacht 
Die Sonn' zur ew'gen Ruh':  
Die Sonne, die ins Herz mir lacht, 
Herzliebster Schatz, bist du! 

Ich höb' auf meinem Arm empor 
Dich in die Nacht hinein: 
Ihr roten Rosen brecht hervor, 
Hier ist der Sonnenschein!
