Du lieblicher Stern
Language: German (Deutsch)
Du lieblicher Stern, Du leuchtest [so]1 fern, Doch hab ich dich denoch Von Herzen so gern. Wie lieb ich doch dich So herzinniglich! Dein funkelndes Äuglein Blickt immer auf mich. So blick ich nach dir, Sei's dort oder hier: Dein freundliches Äuglein Steht immer vor mir. Wie nickst du mir zu In fröhlicher Ruh! O liebliches Sternlein, O wär ich wie du!
