O Meer im Abendstrahl, [An]1 deiner stillen Fluth Fühl' ich nach langer Qual Mich wieder fromm und gut. Das heiße Herz vergißt, Woran sich's müd' gekämpft, Und jeder Wehruf ist Zu Melodie gedämpft. Kaum daß ein [leises]2 Weh Durchgleitet das Gemüth, Wie durch die stumme See Ein weißes Segel zieht.

O mer dans les rais du couchant Au bord de tes paisibles flots Après de longs maux je me sens Et pieux et bon à nouveau. Le cœur jadis brûlant oublie Le combat où il s’épuisait Et chaque cri en mélodie Est vaporisé désormais. À peine une douce souffrance Glisse encore à travers l’esprit Comme sur la mer en silence Une voile blanche s’enfuit.
