Lieder 1939-1965

Song Cycle by Will Eisenmann (1906 - 1992)

12. Ein schöner Stern  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Ein schöner Stern geht auf in meiner Nacht,
Ein Stern, der süßen Trost herniederlacht
Und neues Leben mir verspricht --
O, lüge nicht!

  Gleichwie das Meer dem Mond entgegenschwillt,
So flutet meine Seele, froh und wild,
Empor zu deinem holden Licht --
O, lüge nicht!
