Language: German (Deutsch)
Ein schöner Stern geht auf in meiner Nacht, Ein Stern, der süßen Trost herniederlacht Und neues Leben mir verspricht -- O, lüge nicht! Gleichwie das Meer dem Mond entgegenschwillt, So flutet meine Seele, froh und wild, Empor zu deinem holden Licht -- O, lüge nicht!

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
A star dawns beauteous in my gloomy night, A star that sheds sweet comfort with its light, Promising me new life and joy,-- Oh, do not lie! Like as the ocean to the moon swells free, So mounts my soul, daring and glad to thee,-- To thee, and to thy light of joy,-- Oh, do not lie!
