Hoch über mir der Sterne Pracht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Hoch über mir der Sterne Pracht, Von Wogen geschaukelt der Nachen, So möcht' ich schlafen in stiller Nacht Und nimmer wieder erwachen. O Leben, wie bist du so freudenleer! O Herz, wie bist du betrogen! So wollt' ich, es spülten mich schlafend in's Meer Mitleidig die rauschenden Wogen!
