Auf See
 (Sung text for setting by A. Zemlinsky)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Doch hatte niemals tiefere Macht dein Blick,
als da du, Abschied fühlend, still am Ufer
standest, schwandest. Nur der Blick noch
blieb und bebte über dem Wasser.

Dunkel folgte der Schein den leuchtenden Furchen.
Und ich sah den Schein der tiefen Flut,
sah dein weißes Kleid zerfließen:
du Seele — Seele — —
