Wenn vorbei ich gehe An dem kleinen Haus, Wo du wohnst, so spähe Immer ich und sehe, Ob Du blickst heraus. Vor den Scheiben drinnen Stehen Rosen dicht; Muß mich stets besinnen, Ob ich sah die Blumen, Ob Dein Angesicht.

When I walk past The little house In which you live, I always Look to see If you are peeping out. Inside the windowpanes, Roses are densely arrayed; I must always ask myself If I saw the flowers Or your face.
