by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Im Mondenglanze ruht das Meer
 (Sung text for setting by H. Bosmans)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Im Mondenglanze ruht das Meer,
die Wogen murmeln leise;
mir wird das Herz so bang und schwer,
ich denk der alten Weise,
der alten Weise, die uns singt
von den verlornen Städten,
wo aus dem Meeresgrunde klingt
Glockengeläut und Beten -
Das Läuten und das Beten, wißt,
wird nicht den Städten frommen,
denn was einmal begraben ist,
das kann nicht wiederkommen.
