Vom Nachen getragen, Mein Nachen [versinket]1, Mein Leben verklaget, Die Zukunft [ertrinket]2. Im Schilf ist ein Rauschen, Im Grase ein Säuseln, Die Vögel, sie lauschen, Die Wellen, sie kreiseln, Die Sterne, sie schießen, Und grüßen die Quellen, Die Quellen, sie fließen Zum Meere als Wellen. Da finden sich wieder, Die hier sich verloren, Der Liebe Gebrüder Im Thale geboren. Des Schaumes Gefieder Erglänzt im Gesange, Ich höre die Lieder, Ich athme schon bange.

Carried by the barque, My barque [sinks]1, My life dissolves in lamenting, The future [drowns.2 There is a soughing in the reeds, In the grass a rustling, The birds, they listen, The waves, they circle. The stars, they come shooting And greet the well-springs, The well-springs, they flow To the sea as waves. There those who here have lost each other Find each other again, The brethren of love Born in the valley. The plumage of the foam Shines in singing, I hear the songs, I already breathe anxiously.
