by Sophie von Khuenberg (1863 - 1917)

Die Fenster waren gefroren
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Fenster waren gefroren,
Sie glänzten im weißem Schein,
Ich saß in Gedanken verloren
Und schrieb einen Namen hinein.

Dann haucht' ich ihn an und lachte
Wie er so schnell zerrann,
Ich glaube gar, ich dachte,
Daß ich vergessen kann!
