Wie froh und frisch mein Sinn sich hebt, Zurück bleibt alles Bangen, Die Brust mit neuem Mute strebt, Erwacht ein neu Verlangen. Die Sterne spiegeln sich im Meer, Und golden glänzt die Flut. Ich rannte taumelnd hin und her, Und war nicht schlimm, nicht gut. Doch niedergezogen Sind Zweifel und wankender Sinn; O tragt mich, ihr schaukelnden Wogen, Zur längst ersehnten Heimat hin. In lieber, dämmernder Ferne, Dort rufen heimische Lieder, Aus jeglichem Sterne Blickt sie mit sanftem Auge nieder. Ebne dich, du treue Welle, Führe mich auf fernen Wegen Zu der vielgeliebten Schwelle, Endlich meinem Glück entgegen!

Hoe opgewekt is mijn gemoed, Verlost van al het bange, Mijn hart streeft nu met nieuwe moed, Ontwaakt met nieuw verlangen. De sterren spieg'len zich in zee, Met goudlicht glanst de vloed, Ik liep met alle winden mee En was niet slecht, niet goed. Maar weg en bedolven Zijn twijfel en weif'lend verstand, O draag mij, o schomm'lende golven, Naar 't lang verbeide vaderland. Ginds, lieflijk schemerend, verre, Daar roepen dierbare zangen; Uit talloze sterren Kan ik haar zachte blikken vangen. Effen je, mijn trouwe baren, Voer mij heen op verre wegen Wil mij vlug naar huis toe varen, Eind'lijk naar geluk en zegen!
