Summer Sun

Now the sun will rise as brightly
As if no misfortune had befallen in the
night.
The misfortune befell me alone,
The sun shines for everyone.

You must not enfold the night within
you,
You must let it drown in eternal light.
A little lamp has gone out in my dwelling,
Hail to the joyous light of the world!

from Kindertotenlieder by Gustav Mahler
