Heinrich Heine, |
| translated by Mark Twain |
| An ancient legend of the Rhine |
| I cannot divine what it meaneth, |
| This haunting nameless pain: |
| A tale of the bygone ages |
| Keeps brooding through my brain: |
| The faint air cools in the gloaming, |
| And peaceful flows the Rhine, |
| The thirsty summits are drinking |
| The sunset's flooding wine; |
| The loveliest maiden is sitting |
| High-throned in yon blue air, |
| Her golden jewels are shining, |
| She combs her golden hair; |
| She combs with comb that is golden, |
| And sings a weird refrain |
| That steeps in a deadly enchantment |
| The listener's ravished brain: |
| The doomed in his drifting shallop, |
| Is tranced with the sad sweet tone, |
| He sees not the yawing breakers, |
| He sees but the maid alone: |
| The pitiless billwos engulf him!- |
| So perish sailor and bark; |
| And this, with her baleful singing, |
| Is the Lorelei's gruesome work. |
