1 Raff: "mir ans Fenster"

Research team for this page: Emily Ezust [Administrator] , Andrew Schneider [Guest Editor]



 Muß ich in der Wüste hausen,
 In der Wildniß, in der grausen,
 Wo nur Sand und Sonne glühen,
 Lieblich wird es in mir blühen!
 Denn, ich trage in der Brust
 Liebchens Bild und Frühlings Lust!

 Ob die Nacht mit ihren Schauern,
 Ob Gefahren mich umlauern,
 Ob sie dräuen, ob sie wüten,
 Wird ein Engel mich behüten!
 Denn, ich trage in der Brust
 Liebchens Bild und Frühlings Lust!
