Blaues Sternlein, du sollst schweigen

Blaues Sternlein, du sollst schweigen,
Das Geheimnis gib nicht kund.
Sollst nicht allen Leuten zeigen
Unsern stillen [Liebesbund]1.

Mögen andre stehn in Schmerzen,
Jeder sage, was er will;
Sind zufrieden unsre Herzen,
Sind wir beide gerne still.

by Ferdinand Gregorovius (1821-1891) , no title, from Toscanische Melodieen, no. 23[24]
