"I don't think that the Lorelei was very nice," she said, "to make men drown themselves just because she wants to comb her hair on a rock "
But Brentano's Lorelei does not sing at all, and Loeben's just a little, "Sie singt dir hold zum Ohre," while Heine, like Schreiber, puts his heroine in the prima donna class, and has her work her charms through her singing.
And a party of them sat among the fallen pillars and broken friezes outside the little churches singing and what? the Lorelei in chorus, "Sie kämmt sich mit goldenem Kamme und singt ein Lied dabei." Oh, friendly romance of Germany, lurking even in the house of the Lord, and cheek-by-jowl with De Propaganda Fide! PAL. SCIARRA, April 16.

Du Heilige, rufe dein Kind zurueck, Ich babe genossen das irdische Glueck, Ich babe gelebt and geliebet.
