Der Abendstern (Anonymous, set by C. Schumann) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Bist du denn wirklich so fern,
lieblicher, glänzender Stern?
Sehne mich stündlich von hier,
Wandelnder, heimlich zu dir.

Blickest so hell durch die Nacht,
still, bis die Sorge erwacht,
schimmerst am Morgen noch spät,
matt, wenn die Sonne ersteht.

Winket dein freundliches Licht
Frieden und Ruhe mir nicht?
Schau ich dich, blinkenden Stern,
möcht' ich ja sterben so gern.
