Mein Lieb', dein holdes Angesicht
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Lieb', dein 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!
