by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Sternennacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Barhaupt, die Augen aufgerichtet,
Zieh' ich in off'ner Sternennacht;
Was ich gekämpft, das ist geschlichtet,
Was ich ersehnt, das ist vollbracht.

Ich trug die Wonnen und die Schmerzen
Der weiten Welt! Nun liegt die Ruh'
Der weiten Welt auf meinem Herzen,
Und an dem Herzen ruhest du!

Confirmed with Neues Münchner Dichterbuch, herausgegeben von Paul Heyse, Stuttgart, Druck und Verlag von Gebrüder Kröner, 1882, page 128.
