by Friedrich Hornfeck (1822 - 1882)

Den Sternen nur vergleichbar
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn ich dich sehe, flieht die Ruh, 
Und meine Liedertaube 
Fliegt freudig deiner Schönheit zu...
Und wird dem Schmerz zum Raube.

Noch weiß sie nicht daß du mein Glück 
Den Sternen nur vergleichbar, 
Gleich ihnen bist du nur dem Blick, 
Dem Herzen nicht erreichbar.
