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.
