Ein schöner Stern geht auf in meiner...

Ein schöner Stern geht auf in meiner Nacht,
Ein Stern, der süßen Trost herniederlacht
Und neues Leben mir verspricht -
O, lüge nicht!

Gleichwie das Meer dem Mond entgegenschwillt,
So flutet meine Seele, froh und wild,
Empor zu deinem holden Licht -
O, lüge nicht!

by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) , no title, from Neue Gedichte, in Verschiedene, in Katharina, no. 1

A beauteous star arises o'er my night

A beauteous star arises o'er my night,
A star which smiles down on me comfort bright,
And new life pledges to supply, -
O do not lie!
 
As leaps to the moon the sea with sudden roar,
So gladly, wildly, doth my spirit soar
Up to thy blissful light on high, -
O do not lie!

by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1826-1911)
