Die helle Sonne leuchtet

Die helle Sonne leuchtet
Auf's weite Meer hernieder,
Und alle Wellen zittern
Von ihrem Glanze wieder.

Du spiegelst dich, wie die Sonne,
Im Meere meiner Lieder!
Sie alle glühn und zittern
Von deinem Glanze wieder!

by Friedrich Martin von Bodenstedt (1819-1892) , from Die Lieder des Mirza-Schaffy, in Zuléikha, no. 12
