On The Journey - Ludwig Bechstein

As numerous as the stars
That night brings to the firmament,
That is how often on my journey
I thought of you!

Whenever, on the roads I traveled,
I looked toward heaven,
My thoughts, with faithful blessings,
Were near you!

Whenever I found flowers
Gracing the green meadows,
A longing to see you
Arose in my heart!

Ludwig Bechstein (1801 - 1860) Germany
