by Julius Karl Reinhold Sturm (1816 - 1896)

Wie man nach einem Sterne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie man nach einem Sterne
voll stiller Sehnsucht blickt.
Habe ich aus scheuer Ferne
dir Gruß um Gruß geschickt.

Du wohntest mir im Herzen
und hast es nicht gewusst.
Doch trug ich deine Schmerzen
und teilte deine Lust.

Der Stern am Himmelsbogen
kehrt jede Nacht zurück.
Doch du bist fortgezogen
und mit dir all mein Glück.
