Die Wogen ergriffen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Wogen ergriffen Vom Loreley-Sang, Sprangen und sangen Den Rhein entlang. Sprangen und sangen Zum Schlosse hinein Der schönen herzlosen Sieben Fräulein. "Ihr thatet so grausam Mit schönem Gesicht. Die Freier versanken, Ihr liebtet sie nicht. Loreley, Loreley Singt euch hinab; Es freu'n sich die Freier Im bläulichen Grab."
