by Hermann Löns (1866 - 1914)

Der Vollmond scheint in mein Fenster
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FIN
Der Vollmond scheint in mein Fenster,
der Himmel sternenklar blinkt,
im blühenden Nachbargarten
laut eine Nachtigall singt.

Der weisse Holunder duftet 
schwer in mein Zimmer hinein,
auf meines Bettes Kissen
fällt der Mondenschein.

Die Nachtigall singt im Garten,
hell ist der Mondenschein,
schwer duftet der Holunder,
und ich bin so allein.
