My star
Clara Schumann
O star of mine, I gladly watch,
When still in ocean the sun is sinking,
Your golden eye winks with faithful comfort
In my dark night!
O star of mine, from distance far,
You are a herald of loving greetings,
O let your beams give me thirsty kisses
In yearning night!
O star of mine, do tarry long,
And smiling travel on starlight's feathers,
In dreams appear as my friend's bright angel
In his dark night.
