by Ludvig Holstein (1864 - 1943)

Kys mig på øjnene, sol!
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Kys mig på øjnene, sol!
Skønt de fortjener det ej.
Under de lukkede låg
baner sig tårerne vej.
Milde, medliden de kys
strejfer mig kærligt og blidt.
Tak, at du kysser mig, sol,
skønt jeg har syndet så tit!

Kys mig på øjnene, sol!
En gang de strålende så
ind i min elskedes blik,
da var de klare og blå.
Kunde jeg, kysset af dig,
åbne mit øje en dag
uden at finde deri
mærker af sorger og nag!

Kys mig på øjnene, Sol!
Skønt de fortjener det lidt.
Ak, under kærlige kys
fyldes vort øje så tit!
Milde, medliden de sol,
tak, at du glemmer mig ej!
Selv til den mørkeste vrå
finder din kærlighed vej.
