In the Rhine, in the beautiful River
Moriz Ender
In the Rhine, in the beautiful River,
The mighty shadow is thrown,
With its great Cathedral,
Of holy and great Cologne.
One picture in the Cathedral,
On gilded leather wrought,
Unto my life's wild sorrow
Hath gracious comfort wrought:
The dear Madonna, with floating
Angels and flowers above;
The eyes and the lips and the contour
Are all just those of my love.
