by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)

Unter der Loreley
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie kühl der Felsen dunkelt
Hernieder in [den]1 Rhein!
Kein Strahl der Sonne funkelt
Im grünen Wasserschein.
Es kommt im Windesweben
Ein Gruß der Märchenzeit --
Wie fern von hier das Leben!
Die Welt wie weit von hier, wie weit!

In dieser Schattenkühle
Der Einsamkeit im Schooß,
Wird alles was ich fühle
So still, so klar, so groß.
Kein Wunsch mehr, kein Begehren,
Geschlichtet jeder Zwist --
Ich kann der Welt entbehren,
Wo du o Liebe bei mir bist.
