by Carl Krill (1847 - 1927), "Das ist ein Brausen", op. 9 (Fünf Lieder) no. 2, published 18--?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das ist ein Brausen und Heulen,
Herbstnacht und Regen und Wind;
Wo mag wohl jetzo weilen
Mein armes, banges Kind?

Ich seh' sie am Fenster lehnen
Im einsamen Kämmerlein;
Das Auge gefüllt mit Tränen,
Starrt sie in die Nacht hinein.

by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
1. It is roaring and howling
Language: English 
It is roaring and howling,
this rainy, windy Fall night.
Where can she now be,
my woeful, fearful child?
 
I see her lean at the casement
in her lonely little room;
her eyes filled with tears,
she stares out into the night.
