Schöne Fremde See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es rauschen die Wipfel und schauern, Als hielten zu dieser Stund' Um die halbverfallenen Mauern Die alten Götter die Rund'. Hier unter den Myrtenbäumen In heimlich dämmernder Pracht, Was sprichst du wirr wie in Träumen Zu mir, phantastische Nacht? Es funkeln mir zu alle Sterne Mit glühendem Liebesblick, Es redet trunken die Ferne Wie vom künftigem, großem Glück!
