(The work isn’t as long as this video so you might want to stop it when you reach the applause.)

I love you night and day as a star in the distant sky. And I mourn for this one thing alone — that to love, our lifetime was so short. A long road leads to heaven’s shining meadow And never could I reach its end. But a longer road leads to your heart which to me seems distant as a star.
