by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
Der Fischer See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
Das Wasser rauscht', das Wasser schwoll,
Ein Fischer saß daran,
Sah nach dem Angel ruhevoll,
Kühl bis ans Herz hinan.
Und wie er sitzt und wie er lauscht,
Theilt sich die Fluth empor;
Aus dem bewegten Wasser rauscht
Ein feuchtes Weib hervor.
...
Note: the Eberwein score has a likely misprint in stanza 1, line 8, word 4: "empor".
