by Wilhelm Müller (1794 - 1827)

Das Bad
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sie ist ins Meer gegangen -
Wie wird so rot das Meer!
Wird's rot von ihren Wangen?
Wird's rot vom Himmel her?

Wie glühen meine Wangen!
Ist's Glut vom Himmel her?
Ist's Glut, die mein Verlangen
entsog dem tiefen Meer?

Im Schilfe hör' ich's rauschen.
Ist es der Abendwind?
Ich möchte geh'n und lauschen
und bebe wie ein Kind.

Ich möcht' vom höchsten Baume
mich stürzen in die Flut!
Ich möchte zu weichem Schaume
verspülen meine Glut!

Und du, o Meer, kannst liegen
so ruhig und kalt
und darfst dich schlingen und schmiegen
um sie mit Allgewalt!
