by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Drunten auf der Gassen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Drunten auf [der]1 Gassen 
Stand ich, sein zu passen;
Schlugen Nachtigallen 
An den Fenstern allen,
Und ich [blieb]2 alleine 
Bei der Blitze Scheine,
Bis die Nacht [gewichen]3,
Und [da]4 bin ich frierend heimgeschlichen.

Über meine Wangen 
Ist der Thau gegangen,
Und nun lös' ich stille 
Meiner Locken Fülle.
Daß ein Sturm erginge,
Sich darein verfinge,
Mich [zum]5 Himmel trüge --
Weit hinweg [von]6 dieser Welt der Lüge!
