Gestirne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In meines Lebens Bronne
Leuchtet der Liebe Sonne
Mit immer gleichem Schein.
Und was ich auch verrichte,
In ihrem Angesichte
Bleibt meine Seele rein.

Wenn ich die Sterne schaue
Im Auge meiner Fraue,
Wird mir das Herze weit,
Und fern von Bitternissen
Mag ich die Welt vermissen
In reicher Einsamkeit.
