Das zitternde Glänzen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
Das zitternde Glänzen
Der spielenden Wellen
Versilbert das Ufer,
beperlet den Strand.
Die rauschenden Flüsse,
die sprudelnden Quellen.
Bereichern, befruchten,
beperlen den Strand.
Und machen in tausend 
vergnügenden Fällen
Die Güte des herrlichen 
Schöpfers bekannt.

The glittering reflections
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
The glittering reflections
Of the mirrored waves
Silver the shore,
Pearl the beach.
The rushing rivers,
The gurgling springs,
Enrich, fertilize,
Pearl the beach.
And make in a thousand
Pleasing instances
The Goodness of the glorious
Creater known.
