Du schönes Fischermädchen,
Siehst du den Abendstern?
O komm zur stillen Hütte,
Wer liebt ist einsam gern!

In deine Fesseln lege
Den trotzigen wilden Sinn,
Sanft wie die Rosenwalle
Lenk' ihn zum Frieden hin.

Da draussen auf dem Meere
Ist oft Getahr und Not,
Senk' in mein Herz den Anker
Von deinem Lebensboot.

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

While the daylight is paling
'Neath the mild ev'ning star,
Love, his sweet blushes veiling
Steals from the world afar.

Led by his gentle power
To thee ever turns my heart,
Making its stormiest hour
Tranquil where'er thou art...

Toss'd on doubt's surges lonely
Let me thy pity move,
Wreck not the hope whose only
Succor can be thy love.
