Im Mondenglanze ruht das Meer, die Wogen murmeln leise; mir wird das Herz so bang und schwer, ich denk der alten Weise, der alten Weise, die uns singt von den verlornen Städten, wo aus dem Meeresgrunde klingt Glockengeläut und Beten - Das Läuten und das Beten, wißt, wird nicht den Städten frommen, denn was einmal begraben ist, das kann nicht wiederkommen.
