Will the sun forget to streak

Language: English

Our translations: GER

Will the sun forget to streak
Eastern skies with amber ray,
When the dusky shades to break
He unbars the gates of day?
Then demand if Sheba's queen
E'er can banish from her thought
All the splendour she has seen,
All the knowledge thou hast taught.

Wird die Sonne je vergessen

Language: German (Deutsch) after the English

Wird die Sonne je vergessen,
den Himmel des Ostens mit bernsteinfarbenen Strahlen zu überziehen,
wenn sie, um die dunklen Schatten zu brechen,
die Tore zum Tag öffnet?
Dann frage, ob die Königin von Saba
jemals aus aus ihren Gedanken
den ganzen Glanz verbannen kann, den sie gesehen hat,
all das Wissen, das du gelehrt hast.
