Mein Stern
Language: German (Deutsch)
O du mein Stern, schau dich so gern, Wenn still im Meere die Sonne sinket, Dein goldnes Auge so tröstend winket In meiner Nacht! O du mein Stern, aus weiter Fern, Bist du ein Bote mit Liebesgrüßen, Laß deine Strahlen mich durstig küssen In banger Nacht! O du mein Stern, verweile gern, Und lächelnd führ' auf des Lichts Gefieder Der Träume Engel dem Freunde wieder In seiner Nacht.
