by Friedrich Spielhagen (1829 - 1911)

Am Tage die Sonne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Am Tage die Sonne
Wohl hat sie mich gerne,
Ich aber, ich liebe
Die nächtigen Sterne.

Die nächtigen Sterne
Aus endlosen Räumen,
Sie kommen und blinken
Und lassen mich träumen.

Sie lassen mich träumen
Und machen mich weinen
Um den Lieben, den Holden
Den Schlimmen, den Einen.

Den Schlimmen, den Einen,
Den ich mir erkoren,
An den ich die Seele,
Die arme, verloren.
