Die sieben Schwestern
 (Sung text for setting by L. Spohr)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Wogen ergriffen
Vom Loreley-Sang,
Sprangen und sangen
Den Rhein entlang. 

Sprangen und sangen
Zum Schlosse hinein
Der schönen herzlosen
Sieben Fräulein. 

"Ihr thatet so grausam
Mit schönem Gesicht.
Die Freier versanken,
Ihr liebtet sie nicht. 

Loreley, Loreley
Singt euch hinab;
Es freu'n sich die Freier
Im bläulichen Grab."
