Ewig ewig ewig braust das Meer . . . Und wir lagen in festverschlossenem Haus lachend geschmiegt Brust an Brust, dachten nicht mehr an das Meer, das ewig ewig ewig braust. Und lachend geschmiegt schliefen wir ein. Da in der Nacht weckt mich das Weib zitternd mit aufgerissenem Aug': "Mann, Mann, siehst dudas Schiff, das kämpfende Schiff auf brausendem Meer?" Wir stoßen den Laden auf -- Das Meer . . . Ewig ewig ewig braust das Meer.
Confirmed with Alfred Mombert, Tag und Nacht. Gedichte, Heidelberg: Verlag von J. Hörning, 1894, page 89

Eternally eternally eternally roars the sea. . . And we lay in the tightly-locked-up house laughingly nestled breast to breast, no longer thinking of the sea that roars eternally eternally eternally. And laughingly nestled we fell asleep. In the night my wife wakes me, trembling, with wide-open eyes: "Husband, husband, do you see the ship, the struggling ship upon the roaring sea?" We push open the shutters -- The sea . . . Eternally eternally eternally roars the sea.
