Steh' auf und öffne das Fenster schnell,
Es lacht der Morgen so frisch, so hell,
Und unten im kleinen Garten
Sind Leute, die Deiner warten.

Die Veilchen kamen über Nacht,
Hoffärtig breit sich die Tulpe macht,
Und träumend auf und nieder
Schwankt schon der blaue Flieder.

Die Ärmsten haben keine Ruh',
An's Fenster blicken sie immerzu,
Sie glauben nicht an des Lenzes Wehen,
Bis sie die holde Rose gesehen.

Confirmed with Gedichte von Albert Traeger, Neunte vermehrte Auflage, Leipzig, Verlag von Ernst Keil, 1873, page 114.

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the word "Ärmsten" becomes "Aermsten", but as can be seen in how "über" becomes "Ueber" when capitalized, this is due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, so we use "Ärmsten".
