Alle Winde schlafen Auf dem Spiegel der Flut; Kühle Schatten des Abends Decken die Müden zu. Luna hängt sich Schleier Über ihr Gesicht, Schwebt in dämmernden Träumen Über die Wasser hin. Alles, Alles stille Auf dem weiten Meer! Nur mein Herz will nimmer Mit zu Ruhe gehn. In der Liebe Fluten Treibt es her und hin, Wo die Stürme nicht ruhen, Bis der Nachen sinkt.
J. Eschmann sets stanzas 1-3

Todos los vientos duermen en el espejo de las mareas; las frescas sombras del atardecer arropan a los cansados. La luna cuelga un velo sobre su rostro, flota en sueños crepusculares sobre las aguas. ¡Todo, todo está en silencio sobre el ancho mar! Tan sólo mi corazón no quiere nunca ir a descansar. En las mareas del amor va a la deriva de aquí para allá, donde las tormentas no cejan hasta que la navecilla se hunde.
