by Karl von Lemcke (1831 - 1913)
Über die See
Language: German (Deutsch)
Über die See, Fern über die See, Ist mein Schatz gezogen, [Ist]1 mein Herz Voll Ach und Weh, Bang ihm nachgeflogen. Brauset das Meer, Wild brauset das Meer, Stürme dunkel jagen, [Sinkt]2 die Sonn', Die Welt wird leer, Muß mein Herz verzagen. Bin ich allein, Ach, immer allein, Meine Kräfte schwinden. [Muß]3 zurück In matter Pein, Kann dich nimmer finden.
