Meeresleuchten
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wieviel Sonnenstrahlen fielen goldenschwer, fielen feurig glühend in des ew'ge Meer! Und die Woge sog sie tief in sich hinab, und die Woge ward ihr wild lebendig Grab. Nur in stiller Nächte heilger Feierstund' sprühen diese Strahlen aus des Meeres Grund. Leuchtend roll'n die Wogen durch die dunkle Nacht wunderbar durchglüht sie funkensprüh'nde Pracht.
