Am Strande
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es sprechen und blicken die Wellen Mit sanfter Stimme, Mit freundlichem Blick, Und wiegen die träumende Seele In ferne Tage zurück. Aus fernen, verklungene Tagen Spricht's heimlich Mit sanften Stimmen zu mir. Schaut's heimlich Mit freundlichen Blicken Zum Wandrer am Strande hier. Mir ist, als hätten die Stimmen Die je die Seele Mir sanft bewegt Und alle die freundlichen Blicke Sich in die Wellen gelegt.
