Lean out of the window,

Goldenhair,

I hear you singing

A merry air.



My book was closed,

I read no more,

Watching the fire dance

On the floor.





I have left my book,

I have left my room,

For I heard you singing

Through the gloom.





Singing and singing

A merry air,

Lean out of the window,

Goldenhair.
