Leuchtende Tage
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ach, unsre leuchtenden Tage
[Glänzen wie ewige]1 Sterne.
Als Trost für [künftige]2 Klage
Glüh'n sie aus [goldener]3 Ferne.

Nicht weinen,[weil]4 sie vorüber!
Lächeln, weil sie gewesen!
[Und werden die Tage auch trüber]5,
Unsere Sterne erlösen!
