by Ernst von Wildenbruch (1845 - 1909)

Liebespost
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
In der Mondesnacht, in der stillen Nacht
  Wenn da alles schläft, rings kein Auge wacht,
    Da gedenk' ich, süßes Mädchen dein,
    Möchte ach so gerne bei dir sein.

Höre Mond mich an, stiller Wandersmann,
  An ihr Fenster geh, klopfe leise an,
    Schick ihr einen süßen Traum hinein,
    Sage ihr, der Liebste denket dein. 

Confirmed with Lieder und Gesänge von E. von Wildenbruch, Berlin: Verlagsbuchhandlung von Georg Stilfte, 1877, page 16.
