by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)

Nachts am Schreibepult
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Primel und Stern und Syringe, von einsamer Kerze beleuchtet,
Hier im Glase, wie fremd blickt ihr, wie feenhaft, her!
Sonne schien, als die Liebste euch trug, da wart ihr so freudig:
Mitternacht summt nun um euch, ach! und kein Liebchen ist hier.
