Auf dem See
Language: German (Deutsch)
Nun fließt die Welt in kühlem Mondenlicht,
Die Berge sind in weißem Duft versunken;
Der See, der leis um meinen Kahn sich bricht,
Spielt fern hinaus in irren Silberfunken,
Doch sein Gestad' erkenn' ich nicht.
Wie weit! Wie still! Da schließt in mir ein Sinn
Sich auf, das Unnennbarste zu verstehen;
Uralte Melodieen gehen
Durch meine Brust gedämpft dahin.
Es sinkt, wie Tau, der Ewigkeit Gedanke
Kühl schauernd über mich und füllt mich ganz,
Und mich umflutet sonder Schranke
Ein uferloses Meer von weißem Glanz.

Sur le lac
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Le monde maintenant s'écoule dans le froid clair de lune,
Les montagnes se sont abîmées dans de blanches émanations ;
Le lac qui se brise doucement autour de ma barque
Joue au loin de ses capricieuses étincelles argentées,
Pourtant je ne reconnais pas ses rivages.
Quelle immensité ! quel calme ! Alors mon esprit
S'ouvre à la compréhension du plus indicible ;
D'immémoriales mélodies
Pénètrent doucement ma poitrine.
L'idée de l'éternité, comme une rosée,
Coule sur moi, frissonnant de froid, et m'emplit tout entier,
Et autour de moi afflue sans limite
Une mer de blanche lumière sans rivage.
