Uber den Wipfeln des westlichen Haines
Winket uns freundlich der rotliche Schein;
Unter den Zweigen des ostlichen Haines
Sauselt der Kalmus im rotlichen Schein
Unter den Zweigen des ostlichen Haines
Sauselt der Kalmus im rotlichen Schein;

Ach! They just don’t write tunes like that anymore:
“Auf Dem Wasser zu Singen”. It is really one of my
Favorites and I’m sure it’s one of yours! In fact it it
So much fun to sing…Why don’t you join in with me
For the last chorus and..er…you know, sing along with
Schubert?

Bis ich auf hoherem strahlendem Flugel
Selber entschwinde der wechselnden Zeit.
Sel…wonderful, wonderful..
Selber entschwinde der wechselnden Zeit…
Terrific!
