Tief von fern (Dehmel, set by A. Webern, W. Burkhard) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Aus des Abends weißen Wogen
taucht ein Stern;
[still]¹ von fern
kommt der [blasse]² Mond gezogen.

[Fern, ach fern]³
aus des Morgens grauen Wogen,
langt der [stille]⁴ blasse Bogen
nach dem Stern.
