by Augusto Ferrán (1835 - 1880)
Translation by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Ihr Sterne habt so sanftes Licht
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Spanish (Español) 
Ihr Sterne habt so sanftes Licht 
Und blickt herab so klar,
Und doch wie brennen die Augen 
Mich schmerzlich immerdar! 

Ich habe keine Thränen doch. 
Nur such; ich Nacht um Nacht 
Den Stern, auf den dein Engel 
Im Flug dich hingebracht. 

Ach! trocknen Auges such' ich dich 
und suche bald mich blind! 
Wo ist der Stern zu finden,
So hold wie du mein Kind?

Confirmed with Neue Lieder von Friedrich Oser (1874-1884.), Basel, Verlag von M. Bernheim, 1885, page 135. Note: modern German would change the spelling "Thränen" to "Tränen".
