Let’s pretend we’re sailing down the Rhine River on a pleasure boat.The Rhine is one of the main waterways of Germany and the river traffic is heavy.It's interesting to watch the may boats going up and down the river.But the river traffic is not nearly so interesting as the beautiful scenery along the banks and hillsides.The boat is passing many old castles.We can see people working in the ineyards on the hillsides.There are ineyards as far as the eye can see.Wine from the Rhine Valley is well-known all over the world.
Suddenly our boat slows down and beings to turn a little.We are coming to a sharp bend in the river.
On our right we can see a rocky cliff over 400 feet high.At first it looks quite ordinary,but there is nothing ordinary about it.There are many stories,poems,and song about the cliff.We are looking at the Lorelei.
Then someo on the boat begins to sing in German,the song of the Lorelei.It is a song about a siren who has lured many sailors to their deaths.
The beauty is supposed to sit on the rock combing her long golden hair and singing.The sailors who hear her forget to steer,and the current of river hurls their boats on the rocks and dashes them to pieces.
Soon other people on the boat begin to sing.The beautiful song adds to special magic to the moment,and you begin to realize why so many people have made this trip down the Rhine to see the rock of the Lorelei.
