Die See
 (Sung text for setting by H. Schnaubelt)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich sah' in die blaue unendliche See,
Wie ward mir im Herzen so wohl, so weh!
Doch hab' ich Dein blaues Auge gesehen,
Und weiß nun selber nicht, wie mir geschehen.

Und wenn ich die blaue unendliche See
Auch immer und immer wiederseh' -
Das Wasser doch immer nur Wasser bliebe:
Dein Aug' ist ewig unendliche Liebe!
