by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Und meinst du, Sternlein, dein Leuchten
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und meinst du, Sternlein, dein Leuchten
in der früh'sten Morgenstund',
das mache so froh mich jauchzen
und singen aus Herzensgrund?

Und meinst du, Vöglein, dein Singen,
das so heiß mir entgegenschallt,
das mache das Herz mir schlagen
mit so wunderbarer Gewalt?

Und meinst du, Blümlein, dein Blitzen
und Schimmern auf grüner Au,
das mache mein Auge leuchten
so hell wie der Morgentau?

Ihr freilich, ihr könnt es nicht fassen,
wie so freudig Sinn und Geist,
wenn einer am früh'sten Morgen
zur Herzallerliebsten reist!
