All forgot for recollecting
Just a paltry One —
All forsook, for just a Stranger's
New Accompanying —
Grace of Wealth, and Grace of Station
Less accounted than
An unknown Esteem possessing —
Estimate — Who can —
Home effaced — Her faces dwindled —
Nature — altered small —
Sun — if shone — or Storm — if shattered —
Overlooked I all —
Dropped — my fate — a timid Pebble —
In thy bolder Sea —
Prove — me — Sweet — if I regret it —
Prove Myself — of Thee —

Dacht’ an nichts, nur um zu denken
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English
Dacht’ an nichts, nur um zu denken
an den schoflen Mann -
gab alles auf, damit ein Fremder
begleitet mich fortan.
Gunst des Wohlstands und des Status -
sah sie geringer an
als des Unbekannten Achtung -
glaube dies, wer kann.
Ließ die Heimat, ließ die Lieben,
kein Blick mehr für Natur
ob Sonnenschein, ob Sturmeswüten
hab alles ignoriert.
Ließ mein Los, ein zager Kiesel,
fallen in dein keck’res Meer -
Liebster, prüf, ob ich’s bereue,
oder gehör ganz dir.
