To sunshine

(Sung text translation for setting by V. Lachner)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

 O sunshine, o sunshine!
 How you shine into my heart,
 awakening in it such a pure joy in love
 that my chest soon feels too narrow!

 ... 

 O sunshine, do you well believe
 that I should do just as you do,
 and kiss each attractive flower,
 that blooms just for you?

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,3 of the original text.
