Heinrich Heine, | Heinrich Heine, | |
| translated by L. W. Garnham | translated by Mark Twain | |
| An ancient legend of the Rhine | ||
| I do not know what it signifies. | I cannot divine what it meaneth, | |
| That I am so sorrowful? | This haunting nameless pain: | |
| A fable of old Times so terrifies, | A tale of the bygone ages | |
| Leaves my heart so thoughtful. | Keeps brooding through my brain: | |
| The air is cool and it darkens, | The faint air cools in the gloaming, | |
| And calmly flows the Rhine; | And peaceful flows the Rhine, | |
| The summit of the mountain hearkens | The thirsty summits are drinking | |
| In evening sunshine line. | The sunset's flooding wine; | |
| The most beautiful Maiden entrances | The loveliest maiden is sitting | |
| Above wonderfully there, | High-throned in yon blue air, | |
| Her beautiful golden attire glances, | Her golden jewels are shining, | |
| She combs her golden hair. | She combs her golden hair; | |
| With golden comb so lustrous, | She combs with comb that is golden, | |
| And thereby a song sings, | And sings a weird refrain | |
| It has a tone so wondrous, | That steeps in a deadly enchantment | |
| That powerful melody rings. | The listener's ravished brain: | |
| The shipper in the little ship | The doomed in his drifting shallop, | |
| It effects with woe sad might; | Is tranced with the sad sweet tone, | |
| He does not see the rocky slip, | He sees not the yawing breakers, | |
| He only regards dreaded height. | He sees but the maid alone: | |
| I believe the turbulent waves | The pitiless billwos engulf him!- | |
| Swallow the last shipper and boat; | So perish sailor and bark; | |
| She with her singing craves | And this, with her baleful singing, | |
| All to visit her magic moat. | Is the Lorelei's gruesome work. | |
