by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Seefahrt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es war ein Morgen lenzallmächtig,
die Flut so blau, so regungslos;
still glitt der Kahn, und wunderprächtig
floss dir das Goldhaar in den Schoß.

„Wie schön bist du!“ Und frühlingsschaurig
frug ich: „Willst du die meine sein?“
Da sahst du auf so frühlingstraurig,
doch deine Augen sagten: „Nein.“

Der Kahn glitt durch die Fluten, ohne
ein Wort sah'n wir hinab zum Grund;
mir war, als wäre eine Krone
versunken d'rin zu dieser Stund'!
