Finstere Schatten der Nacht, Wogen- und Wirbelgefahr! Sind wohl, die da gelind rasten auf sicherem Lande, euch zu begreifen im Stande? Das ist der nur allein, welcher auf wilder See stürmischer Öde treibt, Meilenentfernt vom Strande.

Duister gordijn van de nacht, Golvend en kolkend gevaar! Lieden die daar beschut Rusten in huis en paleizen Kunnen die jou wel begrijpen? Daartoe is hij slechts in staat Die op een wilde zee Ronddrijft in loeiende storm, Mijlen van strand verwijderd.
