Morgen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Und morgen wird die Sonne wieder scheinen, Und auf dem Wege, den ich gehen werde, Wird uns, die Glücklichen, sie wieder einen Inmitten dieser [sonne-athmenden]1 Erde . . . Und zu dem Strand, dem weiten, wogenblauen, Werden wir still und langsam niedersteigen, Stumm werden wir uns in die Augen schauen, Und auf uns sinkt des Glückes stummes Schweigen . . .

To‑Morrow!
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
To-morrow's sun will rise in glory beaming, And in the pathway that my foot shall wander, We'll meet, forget the earth, and lost in dreaming, Let heav'n unite a love that earth no more shall sunder . . . And towards that shore, its billows softly foaming, Our hands entwined, our footsteps slowly wending Gaze in each other's eyes in love's soft splendour glowing, Mute with tears of joy and bliss ne'er ending.
