TRAUM AM BACHE.

Marchen vom Mummelsee im Schwarzwalde,

Im Mummelsee, im dunkeln see

Da bliih'n der Lilien viele,

Sie wiegen sich, sie biegen sich,

Dem losen Wind zum Spiele;

Doch weun die Nacht hernieder sinkt,

Der voile Mond am Himmel blinkt,

Entsteigen sie dem Bade

Als Nymphen an's Gestade.

Es braust der Wind, es saust das Rohr

Die Melodie zum Tauze,

Die Lilienmadchen schlingen sich,

Als wie zu einem Krauze;

Uud schweben leis umher im Kreis,

Gesichter weiss, Gevrander weiss,

Bis ihie bleichen Wangen

Mit zarter Rb'the prangen.

Es braust der Sturm, es saust das Rohr

Es pfeift im Tannenv.alde

Die Wolkeu ziehn am Monde bin,

Die Schatten auf der Halde,,

Und auf und ab, durchs nasse Grass

Dreht sich der Reigen ohne Maas,

Und immer lautei* schwellen

An's Ufer an die Wellen.

Da bebt ein Arm sich aus der Fluth,

Die Riesenfaust geballt,

Ein trieiend Hauj)t dann, schili'bekianzt,

Vom langeu Bart umwallt,

Und eine Donnerstimme schallt,

Dass im Gebirg' es Aviederhallt:

"Zuriick in eure WogenIhr Lilien ungezogen!"

Da stockt der Tanz_ die Madchen schrein

Und werden immer bias; er:

'"Der Vater ruft! puh! Morgenluft!

Zuriick in das Gewasser!

Die Nebel steigen aus dem Thai

Es dammert schon der Morgenstralil

Und Lilien schwanken wieder

Im Wasser auf und nieder.

THE LAMENT.

MOTTO. If thou deeni'st nie false of heart,

Dooiu'd as thus - as thus to part

Reckless what may be my fate,

The world to me is desolate;

Created things henceforth will be,

A mirror'd wilderness to me.

What has passed to me will seem

The false fond yision of a dream;

And those sweet Elysian hours,

Whose perfume was the breath of flowers,

Though by thee remembered not,

Ne'er can be by me forgot.
