Drei Lieder für Sopran (oder Tenor) am Klavier zu singen , opus 20

by W. J. Otto Lessmann (1844 - 1918)

1. Mein Liebchen, wir sassen beisammen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Liebchen, wir sassen beisammen,
Traulich im leichten Kahn.
Die Nacht war still, und wir schwammen
Auf weiter Wasserbahn.

Die Geisterinsel, die schöne,
Lag dämm'rig im Mondenglanz;
Dort klangen liebe Töne,
Dort wogte der Nebeltanz.

Dort klang es lieb und lieber,
Und wogt' es hin und her;
Wir aber schwammen vorüber,
Trostlos auf weitem Meer.
