by (Carl Friedrich) Julius Altmann (1814 - 1873)

Sternennacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es hüllt die blaue Ferne 
Sich ein in duft'gen Traum; 
Schon schweben goldne Sterne 
Empor am Himmelssaum.

O sonn'ger Tag, du ließest 
Mich schauen Erdenpracht: 
Mir nun den Himmel schließest 
Du auf, o Sternenacht!
