by Maria von Fielitz, née Leonardi (d. 1925)
Translation Singable translation by John Bernhoff (flourished 1890-1912)

Ich stehe am Zaune
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich steh' am Zaune, schau' in die Gassen;
die Leute flüstern, ich kann's nicht lassen.
Von Tränen brennen die Augenlider,
er zog von dannen, er kehrt nie wieder!

I stand and linger where first I met him
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
I stand and linger where first I met him.
The people whisper, I can't forget him.
With tears o'erflowing mine eyelids burn,
he could forsake me, he'll ne'er return!

From the Fielitz score.
