Das Meer
 (Sung text for setting by L. Greger)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das ist das Meer, wie groß, wie weit!
Wie hoch der Himmelsbogen!
Ein Schauer der Unendlichkeit
schwebt auf den ew'gen Wogen.

Das ist das Meer, wie feierlich,
ohn' Anfang, ohne Ende!
In stummer Andacht neig' ich mich
und falte meine Hände.

Composition:

    Set to music by Luise Greger (1862 - 1944), "Das Meer", op. 81 [ mezzo-soprano and piano ]
