by Christiane Rosalia Friederik (1839 - 1901), as Ada Christen

Fremder Menschen bunte Massen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Fremder Menschen bunte Massen,
Fremder Sprache milder Laut,
Große Häuser, helle Straßen,
Selbst der Himmel heller schaut.

Seltsam fremd, wie nie besessen,
Klingt mir hier der Name mein,
Auch mein Herz lernt hier vergessen,
Lernt vielleicht hier glücklich sein.
