Only a smiling glance from your radiant eyes
Schumann, Robert
Only a smiling glance from your radiant eyes,
and from its joyous light I feel bright inside.
So on a misty day we are cheered by a friendly ray,
when through the dark gauze the sun breaks suddenly through.
Only a loving word from your rosy mouth,
and my entire being I feel is enlivened and refreshed.
So, strongly filled with perfume, like a drop of oil pressed from a rose's
roots and flower, are your locks, bosom, and clothing.
