Song
Language: English
When evening shades are falling
O'er Ocean's sunny sleep,
To pilgrims' hearts recalling
Their home beyond the deep;
When rest o'er all descending,
The shores with gladness smile,
And lutes, their echoes blending,
Are heard from isle to isle,
Then, Mary, Star of the Sea,
We pray, we pray to thee!

Abend am Meere See original
Language: German (Deutsch) after the English
Wenn Abendschatten sinken
Auf's sonnig stille Meer,
Wie trautes Heimathwinken
Dem Pilgerherzen schwer;
Wenn, schlummertrunken Alles,
Im Traum die Küste lacht,
Und, leisen Wiederhalles,
Der Laute Klang erwacht:
Dann, Maria, Stern der See,
Zu dir, zu dir ich fleh';
...
