by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Zwei kleine Fenster, ins Grün geschmiegt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Zwei kleine Fenster, ins Grün geschmiegt,
Ein Strohdach, drüber die Sonne liegt
Und unter den Linden ein kühler Platz --
Das ist seine Heimath, da wohnt mein Schatz.

Sie sagen, da draußen in weiter Fern
Gäb's tausend Wunder, ich glaub's ja gern --
Mein' Seligkeit, meine Lust und Pein
Wohnt hinter den winzigen Fensterlein.
