by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Brautlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  LIT
Welch ein Scheiden ist seliger,
Als [zu scheiden]1 von Mädchentagen?
Welch ein Klagen ist fröhlicher,
Als in Myrten um Veilchen klagen?

[Als]2 dein Schifflein im Hafen [lag]3,
Meerwärts oft [sich die Wimpel]4 regten,
Ob auch [heimischer]5 Wellenschlag,
Land und Himmel es [treulich]6 hegten.

Nun die Anker gelichtet sind,
O wie [köstlich]7 die Fahrt ins Weite!
Düfte schwimmen im Frühlingswind,
Und du lächelst an seiner Seite.

Manch ein segnender Seufzer schwingt
Sich ins Segel, [es lind]8 zu schwellen.
Laß dies Lied, [das]9 die Liebe singt,
Sich als günstigen Hauch gesellen!
