by Robert Reinick (1805 - 1852)

Die Sterne leuchten am Himmel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Die Sterne leuchten am Himmel,
Es blinken die Wellen im See;
Es lockt und es grüßt aus der Tiefe,
Es grüßt und es winkt aus der Höh'.

Und leise flüstern die Lüfte,
Da schauert in Wonne der See;
Rings heilige, selige Liebe,
Nur mir in dem Herzen das Weh'.

Die Sterne sie wandeln am Himmel,
Die Wellen sie ziehn durch den See;
Was kümmert es sie, ob auf Erden
Ein Herz in Liebe vergeh'!
