by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Vor deinem Fenster
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Vor deinem Fenster die Ranken
Wiegen sich leise im Wind,
Sie wehen, winken und wanken --
Das sind meine armen Gedanken
Die zu dir gekommen sind.

Du willst von ihnen nichts wissen,
Schließest im Trotze dein Haus,
Du wühlst den Kopf in die Kissen
Und horchst doch, von Sehnsucht zerrissen,
Mit fiebernden Pulsen hinaus!

Confirmed with Anna Ritter, Befreiung. Neue Gedichte, Fünfte Auflage, Stuttgart: J.G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung Nachfolger, 1900, page 91.
