by Charles Fonteyn Manney (1872 - 1951), "Es stehen unbeweglich", op. 1 (Six Songs = Sechs Lieder) no. 2, published 1898, also set in English
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es stehen unbeweglich die Sterne in ihrer Höh', viel tausend Jahr, und schauen sich an mit Liebesweh. Sie sprechen eine Sprache, die ist so reich, so schön; doch keiner der Philologen kann diese Sprache verstehn. Ich aber hab sie gelernet, und ich vergesse sie nicht; mir diente als Grammatik der Herzallerliebsten Gesicht.
