"The sky and the stars"

"The sky and the stars"

Purely the evening sky,
The distant stars are clear,
Clear as a child's happiness;
ABOUT! for which I can not even think:
Stars, you are clear, like my happiness!

Than you are unhappy,
Will people tell me? -
That I am unhappy,
Kind people that the stars and the sky -
"The stars and the sky!" - and I'm a man! ...

People to each other
Envy feeds;
I, on the contrary,
Only I envy the beautiful stars,
Only they would like to take their place.
