Keine gleicht von allen Schönen, Zauberhafte, dir! Wie Musik auf Wassern tönen Deine Worte mir; Wenn das Meer vergißt zu rauschen, Um entzückt zu lauschen, Lichte Wellen leise schäumen, Eingelullte Winde träumen: Wenn der Mond die Silberkette Über Fluten spinnt, Deren Brust im stillen Bette Atmet, wie ein Kind: Also liegt mein Herz versunken, Lauschend, wonnetrunken, Sanft gewiegt und voll sich labend, Wie des Meeres Sommerabend.

De totes les més belles, cap iguala el teu encís! Com música damunt les aigües, ressonen per a mi les teves paraules; quan el mar s’oblida de mormolar per escoltar encisat, les ones lluminoses s’encrespen suaument i els vents endormiscats somien: quan la lluna fila el seu collaret d’argent damunt les aigües, el pit del qual en el seu llit tranquil, com un infant, alena: talment resta el meu cor, absort, tot escoltant, ebri de plaer, suaument bressolat i delectant-se plenament, com el marejol d’un capvespre d’estiu.
