Nachts in der Kajüte. I

Eingewiegt von Meereswellen
Und von träumenden Gedanken,
Lieg' ich still in der Kajüte,
In dem dunkeln Winkelbette.

Durch die offne Luke schau' ich
Droben hoch die hellen Sterne,
Die geliebten, süßen Augen
Meiner süßen Vielgeliebten.

Die geliebten, süßen Augen
Wachen über meinem Haupte,
Und sie blinken und sie winken
Aus der blauen Himmelsdecke.

Nach der blauen Himmelsdecke
Schau' ich selig lange Stunden,
Bis ein weißer Nebelschleier
Mir verhüllt die lieben Augen.
