Ins stille Land!
Wer leitet uns hinüber?
Schon wölkt sich uns der Abendhimmel trüber,
Und immer trümmervoller wird der Strand.
Wer leitet uns mit sanfter Hand
Hinüber! ach! hinüber
Ins stille Land?

Naar 't stille land

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Kittl)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Naar 't stille land!
Wie brengt ons straks naar ginder?
Reeds maken wolken d' avondhemel blinder,
En steeds meer wrakken spoelen aan op 't  strand.
Wie voert ons straks met zachte hand
Naar ginder? Ach, naar ginder,
Naar 't stille land?
