Die Jungfrau am Rhein
 (Sung text for setting by F. Kamm)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es winkt vom Felsenriffe 
Im thaugewobnen Kleide,
Nur Thränen als Geschmeide 
Ein weißer Arm herbei;
Und gleich dem Ton der Harfe 
Ergießt des Herzens Wunde 
Sich aus dem schönen Munde 
Der schönen Lorelei.

 ... 

Die Rebenhügel lauschen,
Des holden Klanges trunken 
Es ziehn wie Mondesfunken 
Glühwürmchen aus und ein;
Der Nachtwind athmet milder,
Und zu des Stromes Rollen
Erklingts in seelenvollen
Accorden über'm Rhein:

 ...
