Ist es möglich! Stern der Sterne,
Drück ich wieder dich ans Herz!
Ach, was ist die Nacht der Ferne,
Für ein Abgrund, für ein Schmerz!
Ja, du bist es, meiner Freuden
Süßer, lieber Widerpart!
Eingedenk vergangner Leiden
Schaudr ich vor der Gegenwart.

Est‑ce possible

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Hensel)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Est-ce possible ! Étoile parmi les étoiles,
je te serre à nouveau sur mon cœur !
Ah, c'était la nuit
Oui, c'est toi, ma joie,
Doux et cher adversaire !
En pensant à la souffrance passée
Je frissonne devant le présent.
