Den Schiffer im kleinen Schiffe Ergreift es mit wildem Weh; Er schaut nicht die Felsenriffe, Er schaut nur hinauf in die Höh.
Page 126 - Missus acted de foolish part, And died for a man dat broke her heart; Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land! Now, here's a health to the next Old Missus, An' all de gals dat want to kiss us; Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land!
Page 166 - Oh lift me from the grass ! I die! I faint! I fail! Let thy love in kisses rain On my lips and eyelids pale. My cheek is cold and white, alas! My heart beats loud and fast; — Oh ! press it to thine own again, Where it will break at last.
Page 110 - Nor child has he to raise his hope — I would not wish to be the Pope. The Sultan better pleases me, His is a life of jollity; His wives are many as he will — I would the Sultan's throne then fill.
