Meeresleuchten
 (Sung text for setting by F. Draeseke)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
O komm' in mein Schifflein,
Geliebte, daher!
Die Nacht ist so still und
    Es leuchtet das Meer!
 
Und, wo ich hin rudre,
Entbrennet die Flut:
Es schaukelt der Nachen
    In wallender Glut! -- --
 
Die Glut ist die Liebe,
Der Nachen bin ich:
Ich sink' in den Flammen,
    O rette du mich!
