I

BLOW, winds! and war, ye waters!
King Kühleborn commands!
The fairest of our daughters
Now thrills at touch of hands.

II

Let him who comes to woo her
The soul of honour shrine!
Should mortal love undo her,
The Sword of Vengeance mine!

III

Who weds a water-maiden,
His love must never wane:
Twin hearts, with rapture laden—
One soul in bodies twain.

IV

Crash out, ye waves, your thunder!
Roll up the silver shore!
For, lost in Love's sweet wonder,
Undine is ours no more!
