Nacht ist wie ein stilles Meer, Lust und Leid und Liebesklagen Kommen so verworren her In dem linden Wellenschlagen. Wünsche wie die Wolken sind, Schiffen durch die stillen Räume, Wer erkennt im lauen Wind, Ob's Gedanken oder Träume? -- Schließ' ich nun auch Herz und Mund, Die so gern den Sternen klagen: Leise doch im Herzensgrund Bleibt das linde Wellenschlagen.

La notte è come un mare calmo, gioie e dolori e lamenti d'amore giungono come mescolati al delicato sciacquio delle onde. I desideri sono come le nuvole, navigano attraverso silenziosi spazi, chi può sapere se, nel tiepido vento, sono pensieri o sogni soltanto? Se anche ora tengo chiusi il cuore e la bocca, che con le stelle amano confidarsi, lieve però nel profondo del cuore resta il delicato sciacquio delle onde.
