Die Sonne sank
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Sonne sank, Ein Tag verschied, Mein Weib, hab' Dank, Nun ward ich müd'. O, du hast so treu Mich gepflegt, geküsst, Nun weiss ich aufs neu', Was du mir bist! Und schied auch das Licht, Mir leuchtet dein Blick, Wir brauchen's ja nicht, Wir haben das Glück!
