Die Nebel zerreißen,
Der Himmel ist helle
Und Aeolus löset
Das ängstliche Band. 
Es säuseln die Winde,
Es rührt sich der Schiffer. 
Geschwinde! Geschwinde! 
Es theilt sich die Welle,
Es naht sich die Ferne,
Schon seh' ich das Land!

Note: Goethe's "Meeres Stille" and "Glückliche Fahrt" constitute a pair of poems belonging together.
