Fischerknabe
 (Sung text for setting by N. Burgmüller)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Des Abendsterns ersehnter Schein
Beglänzt den Saum der Flut,
Der Knabe zieht den Kahn herein,
Der still im Hafen ruht.
 
"Mein Tagewerk ist nun vollbracht,
Doch, liebe Seele, sprich,
O sprich, wie soll die lange Nacht
Vergehn mir ohne dich?"
 
Am Ufer steht ein Weidenbaum
Und dran gelehnt ein Stein,
Und drunter liegt in schmalem Raum
Ihr kaltes Totenbein.
