Thompson F420.1.5.2: Mysterious voice water-spirit is calling from sea.

Mögliche Zuordnung · Textstelle

The source says the nymph’s lamenting songs can be heard “aus dem Flusse herauf tönen”; Thompson F420.1.5.2 is “Mysterious voice water-spirit is calling from sea.” The auditory manifestation of a water-spirit from water is close, but the source calls it a lament rather than a call, identifies the singer, and specifies a river rather than a sea; I therefore retain only a possible match. F420.1.5.1 requires an invisible spirit clapping hands and speaking, while the source says she is also visibly seen on the rampart and mentions neither clapping nor speech. E321.4 concerns a dead husband visiting his widow and new husband, not a surviving water-spirit mourning a drowned spouse and children; F420.5.2.12 requires the water-spirit to cause illness or death, but this nymph only laments.

• „Noch jetzt kann man in stillen Nächten ihre Klagelieder aus dem Flusse herauf tönen hören, oder sie klagend auf dem Burgwalle bei Gülzow umherwandeln sehen.“

The complete motif describes a mysterious voice of a water spirit calling from the sea. Here a repeatedly calling voice is heard from the reed-lined lake bay, but the source does not identify it as a water spirit and the location is a lake rather than sea. The description fits the mysterious water-side call, while those unresolved details keep certainty possible.

• „vernahm plötzlich vom See her, der dort eine Art Bucht macht und mit Rohr und Schilf bewachsen war, die Worte ›De Tid is üm, un de Minsch is noch nich dor!‹“
• „Und bald darauf rief es wieder ›De Tid is üm, un de Minsch is noch nich dor!‹“

The full entry describes a mysterious voice of a water-spirit calling from the sea. Here an unseen voice comes from beneath the lake and speaks for the disturbed underwater inhabitants, but neither a water-spirit identity nor a sea location is explicit. This is a possible parallel, not a definite identification.

• „Da zog es von unten und eine Stimme rief ›Laßt ab und zieht empor, ihr stört unsere Ruhe!‹“

The complete entry describes a mysterious voice of a water-spirit calling from the sea. Here a voice speaks from the depths of a frozen lake, but neither water-spirit identity nor sea location is explicit. This is a possible voice-from-water parallel.

• „Mit einemmale hört er in der Tiefe des Sees eine Stimme und vernimmt die Worte ›Nun wollen wir die Fische wieder nach dem Sechspfennigzug treiben.‹“
