Wie die Wellenschaumgeborene Strahlt mein Lieb im Schönheitsglanz, Denn sie ist das auserkorene Bräutchen eines fremden Manns. Herz, mein Herz, du vielgeduldiges, Grolle nicht ob dem Verrat; Trag es, trag es, und entschuldig es, Was die holde Törin tat.

Как из пены воссиявшая Лучезарной красотой Ты блистаешь ныне, ставшая Не моею, а чужой. Сердце, мукою томимое, Об измене не грусти, Будь покорно, и любимую, Неразумную прости!
