Wie schön die Nacht mit ihrem Sternenheer!

Serenade
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
How lovely the night with its host of stars!
Come out, why don’t you, and count the stars for once.
Far more numerous [than the stars] are the pangs that I feel
When you talk to others and I stand [looking on] from afar.
