Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich sahe die blaue unendliche See,
Wie ward's mir im Herzen so wohlig, so weh!
Doch hab' ich Dein blaues Auge gesehen,
Und weiß nun selber nicht, wie mir geschehen.

Und wenn ich die blaue unendliche See
Auch immer und immer wiedersäh' -
Das Wasser ewig doch Wasser bliebe:
Dein Aug' ist ewig unendliche Liebe!
