by Franz Theodor Kugler (1808 - 1858)

Vor meinem Fenster dämmert
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Vor meinem Fenster dämmert
Das trübe Mondenlicht;
auf meinem Tischlein hämmert
Die Uhr und rastet nicht.

Die stille Nacht durchschallet
Ein einsam hast'ger Gang,
Der wiederum verhallet
Die leere Straß' entlang.

Auf Traumesschwingen heben
Sich die Gedanken mir,
Und heimlich, o mein Leben,
Träum' ich mich hin zu dir.
