by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Am Strom
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Der Fluß glitt einsam hin und rauschte,
Wie sonst, noch immer, immerfort,
Ich stand am Strand gelehnt und lauschte,
Ach, was ich liebt', war lange fort!
Kein Laut, kein Windeshauch, kein Singen
Ging durch den weiten Mittag schwül,
Verträumt die stillen Weiden hingen
Hinab bis in die Wellen kühl.

Die waren alle wie Sirenen
Mit feuchtem, langem, grünem Haar,
Und von der alten Zeit voll Sehnen
Sie sangen leis und wunderbar.
Sing, Weide, singe, grüne Weide!
Wie Stimmen aus der Liebsten Grab
Zieht mich dein heimlich Lied voll Leide
Zum Strom von Wehmut mit hinab.
