Song of the rival boatmaid Matches base text
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
"O Roman maid, why look on me With glance so full of danger? Thine eye is fair, but never can Its spell ensnare the stranger!" Far o'er the Alps there stands a grave, And by it the green Rhine hieth, On it three wild roses bloom, Ah, within his loved one lieth. "O Roman maid, why look on me With glance so full of danger? Thine eye is fair, but never can Its spell ensnare the stranger!"
Note: from the Lang score.
