An den Abendstern
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Greek (Ελληνικά) 
Stern des Abends, der du dem Liebenden leuchtest,
sag', warum blickst du so traurig, 
scheinst aus der Wolke zu winken;
ach, die Geliebte ist fern!

Stern des Abends, der du dem Hoffenden leuchtest,
Blicke so traurig nicht nieder;
meiner gedenkt die Geliebte,
liebend umschwebt mich ihr Geist.

Stern des Abends, der du dem Sehnenden leuchtest,
blicke bald freudiger nieder,
bringe der Tröstungen süß'ste,
lohne des Liebenden Treue!
