German text
- Leiser, leiser, kleine Laute,
- Flüstre was ich dir vertraute,
- Dort zu jenem Fenster hin!
- Wie die Wellen sanfter Lüfte,
- Mondenglanz und Blumendüfte,
- Send es der Gebieterin!
- Neidisch sind des Nachbars Söhne,
- Und im Fenster jener Schöne
- Flimmert noch ein einsam Licht.
- Drum noch leiser, kleine Laute;
- Dich vernehme die Vertraute,
- Nachbarn aber, Nachbarn nicht!
