by Robert Reinick (1805 - 1852)

Die Sterne durch den Himmel gehn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Die [Sterne]1 durch den Himmel gehn
[Mit]2 reinem Schimmer,
Sie können zur Erde niedersehn
Und weinen nimmer.

Die Blumen sehn der Sterne Lust
Mit stillem Sehnen,
Und ihren Augen, unbewußt,
Entquillen Thränen.
