by Alfons Hermann Paquet (1881 - 1944)

Lied des Mädchens am Fenster
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Wand'rer in der Gassen, der acht' mein Fenster gar so wohl,
ich tät ihn gern was fragen, weiß nit, ob ich's soll.
"Herr Wandrer in der Gassen, ich hab' kein' Ruh', kein' Ruh' habt Ihr.
Will mir's doch keiner sagen, ob Ihr wollt zu mir."

In meiner stillen Gassen, das war vom Mond, so hell und bang,
Im Schlummer wollt' ich warten, bis das Fenster klang.
Aus einer stillen Gassen der Wandrer kam von ungefähr,
in einem silbern Garten zu Herzen mich und trösten sehr.

Confirmed with Neue Deutsche Lyriker, erstes Heft, ed. by Carl Busse, Berlin: G. Grote'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1902, page 11. Appears in Lieder und Gesänge von Alfons Paquet, in Lieder, in Junges Treiben.
