Wenn meine Wimpern
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch)
Wenn meine Wimpern senken
sich Nachts zur sanften Ruh',
Bist du mein letztes Denken,
Mein schönstes Traumbild du.
Und wenn sie sich heben
Zum Tageslicht zurück,
Erweckst du mich zum Leben,
Gott segne dich, mein Glück!

When my lashes lower
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
When my lashes lower
at night in gentle rest,
you are my last thought,
my fair dream-image, you.
And when they lift
again at the light of day,
You awaken me to life;
God bless you, my happiness!
