Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die [Sterne]1 durch den Himmel gehn

Und ihren Augen, unbewußt,
Entquillen Thränen.

3. Der Schäfer  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es war ein fauler Schäfer,
Ein rechter Siebenschläfer,
Ihn kümmerte kein Schaf.

Ein Mädchen konnt' ihn fassen,
Da war der Tropf verlassen,
Fort Appetit und Schlaf!

Es trieb ihn in die Ferne,
Des Nachts zählt er die Sterne,
Er klagt und härmt sich brav.

Nun da sie ihn genommen, 
Ist alles wieder kommen,
Durst, Appetit und Schlaf.

Text Authorship:

  • by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832), "Der Schäfer", appears in Lieder für Liebende
