by Karl von Lemcke (1831 - 1913)

Es fiel ein Stern, ich wünschte nichts
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es fiel ein Stern, ich wünschte nichts -- 
Was sollt es frommen? 
Der Stern ist hin, die Lieb' ist hin
Und wird nicht wieder kommen.

Es fiel ein Stern -- Ich dacht', die Zeit 
Ist sie wohl ferne,
Wo so viel Spur von dir wie dort 
Am Himmel von dem Sterne?
