English text
- Like the rosy northern glow
- Flushing on a moonless night
- Where the world is level snow,
- So thy light.
- In my time of outer gloom
- Thou didst come, a tender lure;
- Thou, when life was but a tomb,
- Beamedst pure.
- Thus I looked to heaven again,
- Yearning up with eager eyes,
- As sunflow'rs after dreary rain
- Drink the skies.
- Oh glow on and brighter glow,
- Let me ever gaze on thee,
- Lest I lose warm hope and so
- Cease to be.
