Fensterlein, nachts bist du zu
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Fensterlein, nachts bist du zu, Tust auf dich am Tag mir zu Leide: Mit Nelken umringelt bist du; O öffne dich, Augenweide! Fenster aus köstlichen Stein, Drinnen die Sonne, die Sterne da draußen, O Fensterlein heimlich und klein, Sonne darinnen und Rosen daraußen.
