Sunny light

X. Scharwenka

Sunny light fair and bright

Drives from my breast its night

Sweet songs of pure delight

Thro' it resound.

Now has its sorrow flown

For art thou not mine own

Since thou thy love has shown

My bliss is found.

Out on the meadow fair

Grow flow'rs of beauty rare

Forget-me-nots are there

Over the glades.

Soon they all faded lie

But my love cannot die,

E'en though apart we sigh,

Ne'er can it fade.

When once my life is sped

When I lay with the dead

let thy farewell be said

And not in vain;

Pres down my sightless eyes,

Say, as my spirit flies,

Say, we shall meet again,

We'll meet again.
