Du schönes Fischermädchen, Treibe den Kahn an's Land; Komm zu [mir und setze]1 dich nieder, Wir kosen Hand in Hand. Leg' an mein Herz dein Köpfchen, Und fürchte dich nicht [zu]2 sehr, [Vertrau'st du dich]3 doch [sorglos]4 Täglich dem wilden Meer. Mein Herz gleicht ganz dem Meere, Hat Sturm und Ebb' und Fluth, Und manche schöne Perle In seiner Tiefe ruht.5
Sechs deutsche Lieder , opus 6

2. Wasserfahrt  [sung text not yet checked]
Ich stand gelehnet an den Mast, Und zählte jede Welle. [Ade!]1 mein schönes Vaterland! Mein Schiff, das segelt schnelle! Ich [kam schön]2 Liebchens Haus vorbei, Die Fensterscheiben blinken; Ich [guck']3 mir fast die Augen aus, Doch [will mir niemand]4 winken. Ihr Tränen, bleibt mir aus dem Aug', Daß ich nicht dunkel sehe. [Mein krankes]5 Herze brich mir nicht Vor [allzugroßem]6 Wehe.

Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang', Dann fliessen die Tränen zusammen; Und an mein Herz drück fest dein Herz, Dann schlagen zusammen die Flammen! Und wenn in die große Flamme fliesst Der Strom von [unsern]1 Tränen, Und wenn [dich mein Arm]2 gewaltig umschließt - Sterb' ich vor Liebessehnen!

4. Es fällt ein Stern herunter  [sung text not yet checked]
Es fällt ein Stern herunter Aus seiner funkelnden Höh; Das ist der Stern der Liebe, Den ich dort fallen seh. Es fallen vom Apfelbaume, Der [weißen Blätter so viel]1, Es kommen die neckenden [Lüfte]2, Und treiben damit ihr Spiel. Es singt [der]3 Schwan im [Weiher]4, Und rudert auf und ab, Und immer leiser singend, Taucht er ins Flutengrab. Es ist so still und [dunkel]5! Verweht ist Blatt und Blüt', Der Stern ist knisternd zerstoben, Verklungen das Schwanenlied.
