by Arno Hermann Oscar Alfred Holz (1863 - 1929)

Schenk ein, liebe Sonne, dein Licht,...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Schenk ein, liebe Sonne, dein Licht, dein Licht,
Ich will es trinken wie Wein,
Und wenn mich mein Herz dann zu packen kriegt,
Dann werden wir beide betrunken sein!

Dann dreht die Welt sich rund um uns rum
Und die Nachtigall singt wie ein Buch:
Wie ist doch der Hansel so dumm, so dumm,
Und die Grethel so klug, so klug!
