by Elisabeth Pauline Ottilie Luise zu Wied, Prinzessin (1843 - 1916), as Carmen Sylva

Ein Sonnenblick
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich soll nicht weinen,
Wenn ich Dich seh?
Doch thut die Freude
Mir gar zu weh!

Ich soll nicht weinen,
Nach langer Qual,
Weil durchgebrochen
Ein Sonnenstrahl?

Ich soll nicht weinen?
Da leidgekrönt
Ich doch vom Freuen
Schon lang entwöhnt?

Ich soll nicht weinen!
Du weißt es nicht,
Wie heiß ersehnet
Dein lieb Gesicht!
