Oh, were your house transparent as glass

Hugo Wolf

Oh, were your house transparent as glass,

My darling, when I steal by!

Then I would see you inside without ceasing,

How I would look at you with my whole soul!

How many glances would my heart send to you,

More than there are drops in the river in March!

How many looks would I send towards you,

More than the drops that fall in the rain!
