Die Sterne durch den Himmel gehn

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Die Sterne durch den Himmel gehn
Mit reinem Schimmer,
Sie können zur Erde niedersehn
Und weinen nimmer.

Die Blumen sehn der Sterne Lust
Mit stillem Sehnen,
Und ihren Augen, unbewußt,
Entquillen Thränen.

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

The stars shine through the heavens
With perfect brilliance;
They can look down on earth
And never weep.

The flowers witness the delight of the stars
With quiet longing,
And from their eyes, unconsciously,
Flow tears.
