German Poem by Eichendorff Waldesgespräch-Loreley, music by me

This is a beautiful and haunting poem be the great Joseph v. Eichendorff,
i've already loved this as a youth, and 'composed' my song at a quite young age, without knowing the famous piece by Schumann...:)
The images are from my collection or for public use,
it's me singing and playing, maybe you will like it,
thanks for watching!

the english lyrics:
It's already late, it's already cold,
Why do you ride alone through the wood?
The wood is vast and you are alone,
You fair bride! I will lead you home.

"Great are the deceit and cunning of men;
My heart has broken for pain.
The forest horn strays here and there,
O flee! You do not know who I am." So richly decked are mount and lady,
So wondrously fair the young form;
now I recognize you - God stand by me!
You are the Witch Loreley.

"You recognize me well - from the lofty cliffs
My castle gazes down into the Rhine.
It is already late, it is already cold -
You shall never again leave this wood."
