The Lorelei ~ by Heinrich Heine (translated by Aaron Kramer)

I cannot explain the sadness
That's fallen on my breast.
An old, old fable haunts me,
And will not let me rest.

The air grows cool in the twilight,
And softly the Rhine flows on;
The peak of a mountain sparkles
Beneath the setting sun.

More lovely than a vision,
A girl sits high up there;
Her golden jewelry glistens,
She combs her golden hair.

With a comb of gold she combs it,
And sings an evensong;
The wonderful melody reaches
A boat, as it sails along.

The boatman hears, with an anguish
More wild than was ever known;
He's blind to the rocks around him;
His eyes are for her alone.

--At last the waves devoured
The boat, and the boatman's cry;
And this did with her singing,
The golden Lorelei.

What about me? Well let's see... I'm 16 years old, brown haired (dyed quite often blonde or purple or a darker brown), blued eyed, and glasses clad. I'm occasionally extroverted and occassionally introverted, and occassionally mellow. I used to enjoy reading and writing, and while reading is still fine, I find that I can no longer write for personal (*writer's block*) reasons - it's rather depressing. So these days, I occupy my time with watching anime, designing web layouts, and playing mmorpgs. And singing. I love to sing =D.

There's really nothing spectacular about me =O sorry to waste your time. I'm just your average romantic daydreamer.
