by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)

Meeresstrand
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Ans Haff nun fliegt die Möwe,
Und Dämmerung bricht herein;
Über die feuchten Watten
Spiegelt der Abendschein.

Graues Geflügel huschet
Neben dem Wasser her;
Wie Träume liegen die Inseln
Im Nebel auf dem Meer.

Ich höre des gärenden Schlammes
Geheimnisvollen Ton,
Einsames Vogelrufen -
So war es immer schon.

Noch einmal schauert leise
Und schweiget dann der Wind;
Vernehmlich werden die Stimmen,
Die über der Tiefe sind.
