by Ernst Koch (1808 - 1858)

In der Ferne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In der Ferne 
Wohnt mein Glück, 
Wie der Sterne 
Goldner Blick. 
In der Ferne
Wohnt mein Schmerz, 
Ringt zum Sterne 
Himmelwärts. 

In der Ferne 
Wohnt ihr Bild, 
Und die Sterne 
Grüßen's mild. 
In der Ferne 
Wohnt mein Leid, 
Sagt ihr, Sterne: 
Lieb' verzeiht. 

In die Ferne 
Schaut' ich oft, 
Hab' zum Sterne 
Treu gehofft. 
Weit und ferne 
Wohnest du, 
Überm Sterne 
Meine Ruh'. 

In der Ferne, 
Dort und hier, 
Lieb und gerne 
Bist du mir. 
Lieb und gerne 
Du allein,  
Überm Sterne 
Wirst du mein.
