Mahler: Kindertotenlieder - 2. Nun seh' ich wohl, warum so dunkle Flammen

(original)
Nun seh' ich wohl, warum so dunkle Flammen
ihr sprühtet mir in manchem Augenblicke,
o Augen!
Gleichsam um voll in einem Blicke
zu drängen eure ganze Macht zusammen.
Doch ahnt' ich nicht, weil Nebel mich umschwammen,
gewoben vom verblendenden Geschicke,
daß sich der Strahl bereits zur Heimkehr schicke,
dorthin, von wannen alle Strahlen stammen.
Ihr wolltet mir mit eurem Leuchten sagen:
Wir möchten nah dir bleiben gerne,
doch ist uns das vom Schicksal abgeschlagen.
Sieh uns nur an, denn bald sind wir dir ferne!
Was dir nur Augen sind in diesen Tagen,
in künft'gen Nächten sind es dir nur Sterne.
(translation)
Now I can see why such dark flames
you sprayed me in some moments,
oh eyes!
As it were full in one look
to crowd all your power together.
But I didn't guess, because fog swam around me,
woven by blinding destiny,
that the ray is already sending itself home,
there from whence all rays come.
You wanted to tell me with your glow:
We would like to stay close to you
but fate cut us off.
Just look at us, because soon we will be far away from you!
What only eyes are to you these days,
in future nights it will only be stars for you.
