Mein Ohr, das ist voll Stimmen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mein Ohr, das ist voll Stimmen, Die Luft schallt um mich her, Am Ufer bei uralten Steinen Spricht mit sich laut das Meer. Es wird nie fertig mit Reden, Was weiß es nur, daß es nie ruht? Erzählt es von seiner Geliebten? Das Meer, das spricht wie mein Blut.

Il mare
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Qui sento ben mille voci Nell' aria echeggiar. Del lido fra vetusti dirupi Seco ripete il mar. L'eterne sue vicende Nè mai si posa: dunque allor di caro oggetto favella? Ei pur, si come 'l mio cor.
