by August von Kotzebue (1761 - 1819)

Ach, mein Auge ist verschlossen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
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.
