by Helene Johanna Charlotte Sarganek (b. 1855), as Hanna Ehlen

Vor meinem Fenster klagt der Wind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Vor meinem Fenster klagt der Wind,
Stahl mir das Lied vom Herzen,
Das letzte, was mir übrig blieb,
Nach kurzem Traum von Lenz und Lieb',
In Kümmernis und Schmerzen.

Vor deinem Fenster klagt der Wind,
Kannst du das Lied verstehen? --
Wird, was mein Mund verschweigen muß
Bei seinem Weh'n, wie Geistergruß,
Still durch das Herz dir gehen?
