Nach so vielen trüben Tagen Send' uns wiederum einmal, Mitleidsvoll für unsre Klagen, Einen sanften milden Strahl. Liebe Sonne! trink den Regen, Der herab zu stürzen dräut, Deine Strahlen sind uns Segen, Deine Blicke - Seligkeit. Schein', ach, scheine, liebe Sonne! Jede Freude dank' ich dir; Alle [Geists-]1 und Herzenswonne, Licht und Wärme kommt von dir.

After so many gloomy days send us once more, sympathetic to our laments, a gentle, tranquil ray of light! Dear sun! drink up the rain that threatens to start; Your sunbeams are blessings to us, your gaze - bliss! Shine, ah, shine, dear sun! I thank you for every joy; Every spiritual and bodily joy, light and warmth, comes from you.
