by Robert Reinick (1805 - 1852)

Die Sterne durch den Himmel gehn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Die Sterne durch den Himmel gehn
Mit 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.
