by August von Kotzebue (1761 - 1819)

Ach, mein Auge ist verschlossen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ach, mein Auge ist verschlossen,
schöne Sonne, deiner Pracht!
Dennoch sind von dir geflossen
Wärm' und Licht in meine Nacht.

Der einst mich hervorgerufen,
der einst sprach: Es werde Licht!
nimmt an seines Thrones Stufen
mir den Schleier vom Gesicht.
