by Paula Dehmel (1862 - 1918)

Wind, Wind, sause
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wind, Wind, sause,
der Mond ist nicht zu Hause;
er ist wohl hinter den Berg gegangen,
will vielleicht eine Sternschnuppe fangen,
Wind, Wind, sause.

Stern, Stern, scheine,
der Mond, der ist noch kleine;
Stern, Stern, scheine,
er hat die Sichel in der Hand,
er mäht das Gras am Himmelsrand,
Stern, Stern, scheine.

Singe, Vogel, singe,
der Mond ist guter Dinge;
er steckt den halben Taler raus,
das sieht blank und lustig aus,
singe, Vogel, singe.

Und hell wird's, immer heller;
der Mond, der hat 'nen Teller
mit allerfeinstem Silbersand,
den streut er über Meer und Land,
und hell wird's, immer heller.
