Das Lied vom bißchen Sonnenschein
Language:
German
Es ist ein bißchen Sonnenschein
Auf meinen Weg gefallen,
Da hört ich gleich des Glücks Schalmein
Aus allen Himmeln hallen,
Und glaubt gleich,
Das Himmelreich,
Das Himmelreich sei mein.
Der Sonnenschein ist weggeglänzt
Er galt nicht meinem Wege,
[Ich habe]1 mich zu früh bekränzt,
Nun kreischt des Grames Sänge:
Der Winter naht,
Der Potentat,
Es hat sich ausgelenzt.

A ray of golden sunlight calm
Language:
English
A ray of golden sunlight calm
lit up the path I wended,
me thought I heard fair Fortune's shalm1
to strains from Heaven descended,
and Joy's soft tears
and Hope's fond fears
were blended to one psalm.
That ray of sun long since is fled,
for me 'twas not intended,
too soon with hope I crowned my head,
sweet Joy her face hath wended.
Cold winter's breath
forebodeth death.
Spring's fairest flowers are dead.
