Lieder, Heft I

by Albert Maertens (b. 1819)

1. Wasserfahrt  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
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.
