Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,
Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.


:Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
"Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?"
:Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
"Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht?
:Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,
Den Erlenkönig mit Kron und Schweif?"
:Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.
"Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif."
<br>


:"Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?"
"Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir!
:"Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht?
Gar schöne Spiele spiel' ich mit dir;
:Den Erlenkönig mit Kron und Schweif?"
Manch' bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand,
:"Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif."
Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand."
<br>


:"Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir!
"Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht,
:Gar schöne Spiele spiel' ich mit dir;
Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht?"
:Manch' bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand,
"Sei ruhig, bleib ruhig, mein Kind;
:Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand."
In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind."
<br>


:"Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht,
"Willst, feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehn?
:Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht?"
Meine Töchter sollen dich warten schön;
:"Sei ruhig, bleib ruhig, mein Kind;
Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reihn,
:In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind."
Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein."
<br>


:"Willst, feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehn?
"Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort
:Meine Töchter sollen dich warten schön;
Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort?"
:Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reihn,
"Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh es genau
:Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein."
Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau."
<br>


:"Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort
"Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt;
:Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort?"
Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch ich Gewalt."
:"Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh es genau:
"Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an!
:Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau."
Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan!"
<br>


:"Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt;
Dem Vater grauset's, er reitet geschwind,
:Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch ich Gewalt."
Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind,
:"Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an!
Erreicht den Hof mit Müh' und Not;
:Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan!"
In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.

Who rides so late through night and wind?
It is the father with his child.
He has the little one well in the arm
He holds him secure, he holds him warm.


:Dem Vater grauset's, er reitet geschwind,
"My son, why hide your face in fear?"
:Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind,
"See you not, Father, the Erlking?
:Erreicht den Hof mit Müh' und Not;
The Erlking with crown and flowing cloak?"
:In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.
"My son, it is a wisp of fog."


"You sweet child, come along with me!
Such wonderful games I'll play with you;
Many lovely flowers are at the shore,
My mother has many golden garments."

"My father, my father, and do you not hear,
What the Erlking quietly promises to me?"
"Be calm, stay calm, my child;
The wind is rustling the dry leaves."


:Who rides so late through night and wind?
"Won't you come along with me, my fine boy?
:It is the father with his child.
My daughters shall attend to you so nicely;
:He has the little one well in the arm
My daughters do their nightly dance,
:He holds him secure, he holds him warm.
And they will rock you and dance you and sing you to sleep."

:"My son, why hide your face in fear?"
"My father, my father, do you not see there,
:"See you not, Father, the Erlking?
Erlking's daughters in that dark place?"
:The Erlking with crown and flowing cloak?"
"My son, my son, I see it definitely
:"My son, it is a wisp of fog."
It is the willow trees looking so grey."
<br>


:"You sweet child, come along with me!
"I love you; I'm charmed by your beautiful shape;
:Such wonderful games I'll play with you;
And if you are not willing, then I will use force."
:Many lovely flowers are at the shore,
"My father, my father, now he has taken hold of me!
:My mother has many golden garments."
Erlking has hurt me!"

The father shudders, he rides swiftly,
He holds in arm the groaning child,
He reaches the farmhouse with effort and urgency;
In his arms, the child was dead.
