by Theodor Fontane (1819 - 1898)

Das Fischermädchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Steht auf sand'gem Dünenrücken
     Eine Fischerhütt' am Strand;
Abendroth und Netze schmücken
     Wunderlich die Giebelwand.

Drinnen schnurrt das Spinnerädchen,
     Blaß der Mond in's Fenster scheint,
Still am Herd das Fischermädchen
     Denkt des letzten Sturms und – weint.

Und es klagen ihre Thränen:
     "Weit der Himmel, tief die See, –
Doch noch weiter geht mein Sehnen,
     und noch tiefer ist mein Weh."
