Mein schöner Stern
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mein schöner Stern! ich bitte dich, O lasse du dein heitres Licht Nicht trüben durch den Dampf in mir, Vielmehr den Dampf in mir zu Licht, Mein schöner Stern, verklären hilf! Mein schöner Stern! ich bitte dich, Nicht senk' herab zur Erde dich, Weil du mich noch hier unten siehst, Heb' auf vielmehr zum Himmel mich, Mein schöner Stern, wo du schon bist!
