Das Fräulein stand am Meere
Language: German (Deutsch)
Das Fräulein stand am Meere Und seufzte lang und bang, Es rührte sie so sehre Der Sonnenuntergang. Mein Fräulein! sein Sie munter, Das ist ein altes Stück; Hier vorne geht sie unter Und kehrt von hinten zurück.

She stood beside the ocean
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
She stood beside the ocean, And sighed as one oppressed, With such a deep emotion The sunset thrilled her breast. Dear maiden, look more gayly, This trick is old, thou'lt find. Before us sinks he daily, To rise again behind.
