Abend am Meere
See originalLanguage: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG FRE
O Meer im Abendstrahl,
An deiner stillen Fluth
Fühl' ich nach langer Qual
Mich wieder fromm und gut.
Das heiße Herz vergißt,
Woran sich's müd' gekämpft,
Und jeder Wehruf ist
Zu Melodie gedämpft.
Kaum daß ein ... Weh
Durchgleitet das Gemüth,
Wie durch die stumme See
Ein weißes Segel zieht.
Composition:
Set to music by Siegfried Wagner (1869 - 1930), "Abend am Meere", 1890 [ voice and piano ]

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Oh sea in the evening light,
Beside your quiet waters
After long suffering I feel
Myself to be again pious and good.
The burning heart forgets
That for which it fought till it was weary,
And every exclamation of woe
Has been muted to a melody.
A ... pain glides through the spirit
Almost as imperceptibly
As a white sail skims
Over the silent sea.
