by Otto Julius Bierbaum (1865 - 1910)

Das Mädchen am Teiche singt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Fische, Fische [feine]1
Schwimmen in meinem Teiche;
Über dem Wasser im Sonnenscheine
Hängt eine grüne Weide.

Leise, leise, leise
Ründen sich Wellenkreise,
Wenn ein Fischlein sprang.
Bald ist mir lustig, bald ist mir bang.

Ein Ringlein laß ich sinken
Tief auf den Grund.
Thut aus der Tiefe blinken
Ringlein rot und rund.

Wie wenn ein Fischlein sprang,
Gehn von dem Ring die Kreise;
Ach Gott, wie ist mir bang.
