by Adolf Frey (1855 - 1920)

Vor meiner Kammertür
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Vor meiner Kammertür 
Ein Tritt geht hin und wieder, 
Ein Bleicher hält die Wacht, 
Schreitet auf und nieder.    

Ich gehe aus und ein
Und singe meine Lieder,
Ich weiß nicht Tag und Stund,
Stößt er mich nieder. 

Vor meiner Kammertür
Ein Tritt geht hin und wieder,
Ein Bleicher hält die Wacht,
Schreitet auf und nieder.
