Lore im Nachen

(Sung text for setting by H. Sommer)

See base text

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Auf dem ruhenden See 
Schimmert's im Abendgolde : --
Das ist die Wasserfee, 
Die Schilfnixe, die holde.

Tief verborgen im Rohr, 
Lüftet sie ihren Schleier,
Breitet den wallenden Flor 
Über ihren Schützling, den Weiher.

Hat ihn so wohl verhüllt, 
Daß er mit bangem Wehe 
Nicht das scheidende Bild 
Seiner Geliebten sehe, ihr Bild nicht sehe!!

Lore in the barque

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Sommer)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Upon the resting lake
There is a shimmering in the evening gold: --
That is the water fairy,
The nixie of the reeds, the lovely one.

Well concealed in the rushes,
She raises her veil,
Spreads the undulating gauze
Over her protégé, the pond.

She has enshrouded him so well
That, with anxious woe,
He may not see the departing image
Of his beloved!
may not see her image!
