by Helene von Hülsen, née Gräfin von Haeseler (1829 - 1892)

Ständchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im hellen, klaren Mondenschein 
Steh' ich vor deinem Fensterlein, 
Sanft schimmern die goldenen Sternelein, 
Süß Liebchen, gute Nacht!  

Es ist so ruhig rings umher  --  
Kein Lufthauch streift die Bäume mehr, 
Ganz dumpf nur von ferne erbrauset das Meer, 
Hold Liebchen, schlummre sanft! 

Hinauf zum Fenster will ich seh'n, 
Bis Mond und Sterne untergeh'n, 
Und will für dich zum Himmel flehn  --  
Mein Liebchen, träume süß. 

Confirmed with Helene von Hülsen, Aus Herz und Leben, Berlin: R. v. Decker, 1867, page 47. Appears in Liebe und Leben, no. 8.
