Our translations: CHI ENG

   Auf dem See in tausend Sterne
Hat die Sonne sich zersplittert,
Daß er blitzend nah und ferne
Wie ein Meer von Feuer zittert.
 
   So in meines Lebens Wellen
Sank dein holdes Bild hernieder,
Und aus tausend Wonnequellen
Springen immer neue Lieder.
 
   Willst du in dies Meer von Schimmer,
Holde Schifferin, dich wagen?
Komm, o komm! und laß es immer
Glüh'nd um dich zusammen schlagen!
