11Weeping, sighing by the Rhine calm and bright Das waren mir selige Tage!
22I wander'd and thought on my own true knight,Bewimpeltes Schifflein, o trage
33when hark! martial music! I glow'd with delightNoch einmal mein Lottchen und mich!
44and cried: 't is my hero, return'd from the fight!O wieg' uns noch einmal behende
55Von hinnen bis an der Welt Ende;
66Alas! They brought tidings of woe: He was slainZur Wiege begehren wir dich.
77and I doom'd forever to heart-rending pain.
88Then I sought the cold cloister, cut off my fair hairWie fuhren und fuhren auf Wellen;
99and doun'd sadly the veil, the black veil of despair.Da sprangen im Wasser die hellen,
1010Die silbernen Fische herauf.
1111He came too late, found me heav'n's plighted bride;Wir fuhren und fuhren durch Auen;
1212ah, would, ere breathing that vow I had died!Da ließen die Blumen sich schauen,
1313Glance for glance, weeping, and sigh for sigh we gave;Da liefen die Lämmer zu hauf.
1414would both we were sleeping in grief's best home, the grave!
15Wir schwebten in lüsternen Kreisen;
16Da sangen die Lerchen die Weisen,
17Da zirpeten Täucher im Rohr.
18Wir schwebten auf strömenden Flächen;
19Da rauschten Gemurmel von Bächen,
20Da säuselten Lüftchen ans Ohr.
21
22Wir spielten im treibenden Nachen,
23Wir gaben uns manches zu lachen,
24Wir hatten des Spieles nicht Rast.
25Wir ließen die Hörner erklingen,
26Die Mädchen begonnen zu singen,
27So hielt ich mein Lottchen umfaßt.
28
29Das waren mir selige Tage!
30Du kleine Gefällige, sage:
31Sie waren so selig auch mir!
32Dann such' ich das Schifflein mir wieder!
33Dann setz' ich dich neben mir nieder,
34Und fahre durchs Leben mit dir.
