by Julius Karl Reinhold Sturm (1816 - 1896)

Das Kind am See
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kindlein ist zum See gegangen,
wo die weißen Lilien blüh'n,
möcht' sich gern ein Blümlein langen
aus dem dichten Blättergrün.

Um sich tief hinabzuneigen
von des Ufers steilem Rand,
fasst es nach der Weide Zweigen
mit der kleinen, schwachen Hand.

Wie die Blumen süß verlocken,
schnalzt ein Fischlein in die Höh',
und das Kindlein flieht erschrocken
vor dem bösen Nöck im See.
