by Rudolph Baumbach (1840 - 1905)

Tausend Sternlein in der Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Tausend Sternlein in der Nacht
Aus der Höhe funkeln.
Steigt herauf der Sonne Pracht,
Wird sie euch verdunkeln.

Bunte Weisen klettern flink
Singend in den Zweigen,
Aber schlägt der Edelfink,
Müßt ihr alle schweigen.

Veiel und Vergißmeinnicht
Blühen an den Hecken.
Wenn der Rose Knospe bricht,
Müßt ihr euch verstecken.

Schöne Mägdlein früh und spät
Schau ich in den Gassen,
Wenn mein Lieb vorüber geht,
Müßt ihr all' erblassen.
