Selige Welt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FIN FRE SPA
Ich treibe auf des Lebens Meer,
Ich sitze gemuth in meinem Kahn,
Nicht Ziel, noch Steuer hin und her,
Wie die Strömung reißt, wie die Winde gahn.
Eine selige Insel sucht der Wahn,
Doch eine ist es nicht.
Du lande gläubig überall an,
Wo sich Wasser an Erde bricht.
Note: Schubert received Senn's poem in handwritten form. Senn did not publish it in any printed edition.

Mundo feliz
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the German (Deutsch)
Soy arrastrado por la corriente de la vida
Felizmente sentado en mi barco
Sin meta, sin timón, aquí y allá,
Donde la corriente fluya, los vientos soplen.
Una isla feliz busca mi desatino,
Pero no hay tal isla.
!Confía! amarra el barco, allí
Donde el agua rompa contra la tierra.
