by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Aus den Himmelsaugen droben
Language: German (Deutsch)
Aus den Himmelsaugen droben Fallen zitternd [goldne]1 Funken Durch die Nacht, und meine Seele Dehnt sich liebeweit und weiter. O ihr Himmelsaugen droben! Weint euch aus in meine Seele, Daß von lichten Sternentränen Überfließet meine Seele.
