L'onda dal mar divisa Bagna la valle e'l monte, Va passeggera In fiume, Va prigioniera In fonte, Mormora sempre e geme Fin che non torna al mar: Al mar, dov' ella nacque, Dove acquistò gli umori Dove da'lunghi errori Spera di riposar.

Vom Meere trennt sich die Welle, Und seufzet durch Blumen im Thal, Und fühlet gewiegt in der Quelle, Gebannt in dem Brunnen nur - Qual! [Sie sehnt sich,]1 die Welle, In lispelnder Quelle, Im murmelnden Bache, Im Brunnengemache Zum Meer, von dem sie kam, [Aus]2 dem sie Leben nahm, Von dem, des Irrens matt und müde, Sie süße Ruh verhofft und Friede.
