Isolde
 (Sung text for setting by J. Marx)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sonn' auf Sonn' sich hellt,
Schnee und Regen fällt,
Meer, in dein lebendiges Gesicht.
Und kein Segel blinkt,
Jeder Abend sinkt,
Und in aller Ferne kommt kein Licht.

Die vom Wachen brennt,
Meine Wange kennt
Trän auf Träne, salzig Naß wie du.
Als ein Teil von dir
Quillen sie in mir.
Flute, Meer, sein Schiff, sein Schiff mir zu!
