lyrics

Welle wogte an den Strand
Griff nach eines Mädchens Hand
Das in Abendsonnenglut
Heimwärts wandert durch die Flut

Zarte Brust und schlanker Fuß
Wahrt euch vor des Schmeichlers Gruß
Höre, Kind, mein sanft Gebot
Warte, bleib, ich bin der Tod

Drüben ruft der Liebe Glück
Schmachvoll wärs, blieb ich zurück
Dort im Fluss der helle Klang
Wars ein Fisch, der spielend sprang?

Schlanker Fuß und zartes Herz
Harrt der Fähre heimatwärts
Hör auf mich, die Welle droht
Warte, Kind, ich bin der Tod

Liebster ruft, da muss ich eilen
Schande träf mich, wollt ich weilen
Welle, Welle wogt und ringt
mächtig ihren Leib umschlingt

Töricht Herzen, treue Hand
Kleiner Fuß trat nie ans Land
Welle wandert, Welle rot
wogt hinab und trägt den Tod
