| Summary |
"Weißt Du wieviel Sternlein stehen?" by Gertrud Ingeborg Klett is a collection of whimsical children’s verses written in the early 20th century. The book presents a poetic exploration of the night sky, where star children come alive and play among the stars, inviting the reader into a fantastical world filled with imagination and wonder. The verses depict a delightful and playful scene where celestial beings, referred to as the "Sternenkinder," awaken from their slumber to enjoy a magical night filled with adventures, such as riding in a chariot and fishing on a cloud. Each stanza introduces charming imagery, including the Polar Star acting grandly, a mischievous bear, and a comet dividing the starry company in a fiery display. The narrative culminates in a soft reminder of the night's end as the stars tidy up their lanterns and prepare for sleep, encouraging readers to embrace the beauty and mystery of the night sky. Overall, the work captures a sense of innocence and the joys of childhood wonder about the universe. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
