by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

In Meeres Mitten
 (Sung text for setting by B. Sekles)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In Meeres Mitten stehet ein Altar,
gebaut aus Perlenmuscheln und Korallen,
wohin man sieht an einem Tag im Jahr
Meerbräute mit Meerbräutigamen wallen.
Die Bräute tragen langes grünes Haar
und haben Augen leuchtend wie Kristallen.
Ein Priester steht und segnet Paar um Paar,
wozu im Windzug Meeresorgeln hallen.

Confirmed with Gedichte von Friedrich Rückert, neue Auflage. Frankfurt am Main, 1847
