Venetianisches Gondellied See original
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English
Wenn durch die Piazetta Die Abendluft weht, Dann weißt du, Ninetta, Wer wartend hier steht. Du weißt, wer trotz Schleier Und Maske dich kennt, Du weisst, wie die Sehnsucht Im Herzen mir brennt. Ein Schifferkleid trag' ich Zur selbigen Zeit, Und zitternd dir sag' ich: „Das Boot ist bereit! O, komm’! jetzt, wo Lune’n Noch Wolken umziehn, Laß durch die Lagunen, Geliebte uns fliehn!“
Confirmed with Ferdinand Freiligrath's sämmtliche Werke, Dritter Band, New-York: Verlag von Friedrich Gerhard, 1858, page 326.
