Vor meinem Fenster 
Singt ein Vogel.

Still höre ich zu; mein Herz vergeht,
Erinnerung klingt,
Abendrot winkt, Dämmerung schwingt.

Er singt, 
was ich als Kind besaß
So rein errang, so voll bezwang,
So traut durchmaß, so ganz besaß
Und dann -- vergessen!

Composition:

    Set to music by Erich Zeisl (1905 - 1959), "Vor meinem Fenster", 1936 [ soprano and piano ], from Sieben Lieder, no. 1
