by Karl von Lemcke (1831 - 1913)
Über die See
Language: German (Deutsch)
Über die See, Fern über die See, Ist mein Schatz gezogen, Ist mein Herz Voll Ach und Weh, Bang ihm nachgeflogen. Brauset das Meer, Wild brauset das Meer, Stürme dunkel jagen, Sinkt die Sonn', Die Welt wird leer, Muß mein Herz verzagen. Bin ich allein, Ach, immer allein, Meine Kräfte schwinden. Muß zurück In matter Pein, Kann dich nimmer finden.
