Nun quill aus meiner Seele
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Nun quill aus meiner Seele immerfort
du mächtig wilder Bilderschwall.
Halt ich dich nicht mit starkem Jubelschall,
bann' ich dich, Strom, mit schlichtem Siegerwort.
Daß alle Well'n vergeh'n, die Fluten klar
zum ruhereichen See sich breiten,
darin die Welt und blaue Himmelweiten
mir glänzen still verklärt unwandelbar.

Now well up out of my soul
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
 Now well up out of my soul evermore
 you mighty, wild splash of images.
 If I cannot hold you back with strong, jubilant shouts,
 I'll bind you, Stream, with a simple charm.
 Let all the waves disappear and the clear flood
 spread out toward the peaceful ocean,
 in which the world and the blue expanse of heaven
 glimmer silently, transfigured and unvarying.
