by Adolf Schults (1820 - 1858)

Wohl bist du gleich dem Mondenschein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wohl bist Du gleich dem Mondenschein
Mit seinem milden Licht;
Doch ich -- soll eine Sonne sein?
O nein, ich bin es nicht!

Ein stilles Auge bin ich nur,
Das blickt empor zu Dir,
Und Du, aus Deiner Himmelsflur,
Du lächelst milde mir.
