И моя звёздочка
Language: Russian (Русский)
Море воёт, море стонет, И во мраке, одинок, Поглошен волною, тонет Мой заносчивый челнок. Но, счастливец, пред собою Вижу звёздочку мою - И покоен я душою, И беспечно я пою: ,,Молодая, золотая Предвешательница дня, При тебе беда земная Недоступна до меня. Но сокрой за бурной мглою Ты сияние своё - И сокроется с тобою Провидение моё!``

Der Schiffer
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Rauscht die See im Sturme springend, auf dem weiten Ozean einsam mit den Wogen ringend unterliegt mein schwanker Kahn. Aber Heil! zum Himmel schauend seh' ich wie mein Sternlein blinkt, und dem milden Glanze trauend sing' ich froh und Muth beschwingt. Herold heitrer Tageshelle, goldner, Jugend schöner Stern, Unheil bleibet auf der Welle, wenn du strahlest, von mir fern. Doch wenn deines Lichtes Milde mir verhüllt der Wolken Heer, Schwendet mir mit deinem Bilde, mein Geleit auf weitem Meer.
