Liebessehnen
 (Sung text for setting by C. Ecker)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sternlein in der Höhe,
Gold'nes Sternelein,
Sag', wo mag mein Mädchen
Wohl heut' Abend sein? 

Wär' ich doch so helle
Und so hoch wie du,
Säh' ich aus der Höhe
Ihr durch's Fenster zu.

Wellen in der Tiefe,
Sagt mir, ob ir wißt,
Wo mein treues teures Mädchen
Wohl heut' Abend ist?

Wär' ich doch so flüchtig
Und so leicht, wie ihr,
Eilt' ich pfeilgeschwinde
Hin zu ihrer Thür.

Wellen in der Tiefe,
Sternlein in der Höh',
Sagt mir, werd' ich wieder
Einst mein Mädchen seh'n?
