Mädchenlied

Der du am Sternenbogen
Als Erstling kommst gezogen,
Schön vor den Brüdern du,
O sei mit deinem Strahle,
Gegrüßt sei tausend Male,
Lieblicher Bote der Ruh'!

Schon lösest du das Bangen,
Das mich am Tag umfangen,
Mit kühlem Dämmer sacht
Und lässest mir im Innern
Aufgehn ein süß Erinnern
Wie eine Blume der Nacht.

by Emanuel von Geibel (1815-1884) , "Mädchenlied"

Maiden's song

Star in the vault of heaven,
Sweet herald of the evening,
Fairest and best of all!
Unto thy radiance fleeting
I give unbounded greeting,
Thou who to rest doth call.

Before thee fears are waning,
That now my heart were paining,
O soothing, tender light!
Into my heart directed,
Purity dwells reflected,
E'en as a flower of night.
