Ein Lieblingstraum, aus goldnen Nächten Vortretend, schlank, in ernster Ruh, Den Zauberschleier in der Rechten - So schön bist du! Mein Blick erstaunt und muß sich senken, Mein Herz schließt alle Tore zu, Dem Wunder heimlich nachzudenken- So schön bist du!

2. So ziehen Sterne
Language: German (Deutsch)
So ziehen Sterne ihre Bahn, Unwandelbar und unverstanden! Wir winden uns in hundert Banden, Du steigst von Glanz zu Glanz hinan. Dein Leben ist ein einzig Licht! Ich muß aus meinen Dunkelheiten Sehnsüchtige Arme nach dir breiten, Du lächelst und verstehst mich nicht.

3. Ich fragte dich
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich fragte dich, warum dein Auge gern In meinem Auge ruht, So wie ein reiner Himmelsstern In einer dunklen Flut. Du sahest lang mich an, Wie man ein Kind mit Blicken mißt, Und sagtest freundlich dann: Ich bin dir gut, weil du so traurig bist.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn doch mein Leben fürder geht Und manchmal noch aus reichen Ranken Ein reifes Lied mir niederweht, Ich hab's auch dir zu danken. Du weißt es nicht, denn ich begrub Dein Bild in meiner Nächte Schweigen. Und was mein Lied zu Tage hub, War schon zuvor dein eigen.
