"Was will die einsame Thrane?"→ |
| Originally from Blackwood's Magazine. |
Immovable, unchanging,
The stars stand in the skies,
Upon each other gazing
With sad and loving eyes.
They speak throughout the ages
A speech so rich, so grand;
But none of all the sages
That speech can understand.
But I that speech have mastered,
Can all its meanings trace;
What for a grammar served me
Was my beloved’s face.
