Lied aus Des Minnesängers Rheinfahrt
 (Sung text for setting by E. Zumsteeg)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du schöner Stern, du freundlicher Stern,
So leuchtend mir aufgegangen!
Was zeigst du dich lächelnd in Fernen, o Glück!
Und fliehest und lässest den Träumer zurück,
Von sehnendem Grame befangen!

Es stand eine blühende Himmelsflur
Nur wenige Stunden mir offen.
Was tobet und stürmt in beklommener Brust?
Fahr wohl, o mein Glück, meines Lebens Lust!
Fahre wohl, du mein seligstes Hoffen!
