To the stars Stars in the distant heavens! who brighten the twilight of Earth with the beams of a better world; Are there not ghostly eyes looking from you towards the earth, breathing peace into clouded hearts? Stars in the distant heavens! Is the fleeting dream of life dreamed even in that far-off place? Are there hearts beyond our sun which are also lifted by delight, joy, sorrow, melancholy, anguish? Stars in the distant heavens! Do your twinkles not signify heavenly peace to me from far off? Will you not melt peace into the soul of weary men one day in golden meadows? Stars in the distant heavens, until my spirit takes wing and flies to your peace, I pin my longings on you, hoping, trusting. O you lovely, beautiful ones, is it possible for you to deceive me?
