Aus den Himmelsaugen droben

Aus den Himmelsaugen droben
Fallen zitternd goldne Funken
Durch die Nacht, und meine Seele
Dehnt sich liebeweit und weiter.

O ihr Himmelsaugen droben!
Weint euch aus in meine Seele,
Daß von lichten Sternentränen
Überfließet meine Seele.

by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) , no title, from Buch der Lieder, in Die Nordsee, in Erster Zyklus, in 7. Nachts in der Kajüte, no. 3

Là‑haut, des yeux du ciel

Là-haut, des yeux du ciel
En tremblant des étincelles d'or tombent
Dans la nuit, et mon âme
Emplie d'amour se dilate.

Ô vous, yeux du ciel, là-haut
Pleurez dans mon âme
Jusqu'à ce que les larmes brillantes des étoiles
Débordent de mon âme.
