O Lieb', o Lieb', du Wonnemeer!
 (Sung text for setting by H. Goetz)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O Lieb', o Lieb', du Wonnemeer!
Hin über deine goldnen Weiten
Laß ich die trunknen Blicke gleiten; 
Und endlos wogt es um mich her!  -- 

Du bist ein unermeßlich Meer!   
Den Horizont kann ich nicht finden,
Nur duftig seh' ich dich entschwinden
Hin in den Himmel licht und her!
