Sechs Gesänge , opus 19

by Moritz Weyermann (1832 - 1888)

6. Childe Harold  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Eine starke, schwarze Barke
segelt trauervoll dahin.
Die vermummten und verstummten
Leichenhüter sitzen drin.

Toter Dichter, stille liegt er,
mit entblößtem Angesicht;
seine blauen Augen schauen
immer noch zum Himmelslicht.

Aus der Tiefe klingts, als riefe
eine kranke Nixenbraut,
und die Wellen, sie zerschellen
an dem Kahn, wie Klagelaut.

Text Authorship:

  • by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856), "Childe Harold", appears in Neue Gedichte, in Romanzen, no. 3
