by (Borromäus Sebastian Georg) Karl Reginald Herloß (1804 - 1849), as Karl Herloßsohn

Einsam an dem Fenster sitzend
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Einsam an dem Fenster sitzend
Blick' ich in die Nacht hinaus.
D'rüben glänzen noch die Lichter
In dem heißgeliebten Haus.

Alles ist so still und ruhig,
Nur die Lüft' und Wolken zieh'n,
Alles ist so kalt und schweigsam;
Aber meine Schmerzen glüh'n. --

Gebt, o gebt mir, heil'ge Sterne, 
Einen Strahl und einen Laut; 
Daß, wenn ich den Laut ihr sende, 
Sich der Strahl zur Brücke baut.

Daß er Ihr allein verstandlich, 
Daß er Ihr nur sichtbar ist: 
Daß sie im Gebet des Abends 
Ihres Sängers nicht vergißt.
