Das Meer erglänzte weit hinaus
Language: German (Deutsch)
Das Meer erglänzte weit hinaus, Im letzten Abendscheine; Wir saßen am einsamen Fischerhaus, Wir saßen stumm und alleine. Der Nebel stieg, das Wasser schwoll, Die Möve flog hin und wieder; Aus deinen Augen, liebevoll, Fielen die Thränen nieder. Ich sah sie fallen auf deine Hand, Und bin auf's Knie gesunken; Ich hab' von deiner weißen Hand Die Thränen fortgetrunken. Seit jener Stunde verzehrt sich mein Leib, Die Seele stirbt vor Sehnen; - Mich hat das unglückseel'ge Weib Vergiftet mit ihren Thränen.
