Der Freund
 (Sung text for setting by A. Kleffel)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Saß im dämmernden Gemach,
Dachte meinem Leben nach;
Rief es leis' am Fensterlein:
Bitte, bitte, laß mich ein,
Bin dein stiller  trauter Freund,
Hab' es immer gut gemeint!  -- 

Hört' es leicht im stillen Haus, 
Löschte meine Lampe aus,
Und zum Fenster stieg's herein:
 'Swar der liebe Mondenschein.
