Among the corn
Alexander Zemlinsky
Oh, the corn, it was waving so,
that I had to grab you.
I could not let go of your hand,
for my soul was waving so.
And the corn, it moved so gently,
and sang in its summer ears;
and deep in my soul it went,
a wonderful melody.
Oh, our hands are acting as though they are drunk,
gently your fingers tapped -
and your head upon mine, your conquerer's
breast, you let sink.
