O komm' in mein Schiffchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
O komm' in mein [Schiffchen]1,
Geliebte, daher!
Die Nacht ist so still und
    Es leuchtet das Meer!
 
Und, wo ich hin rudre,
Entbrennet die Flut:
Es schaukelt [mein]2 Nachen
    In wallender Glut! -- --
 
Die Glut ist die Liebe,
Der Nachen bin ich:
Ich sink' in den Flammen,
    O rette du mich!
