Woge spritzt am Bugspriess auf
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Woge spritzt am Bugspriess auf, Steuermann lenkt des Rades Lauf, Röthlich dämmert die Küste dort, Frischer Nord! Um die Barke Wogenbraus. Und im Tauwerk Windgesaus. Leuchtthurmfeuer, Zinnenkranz, Sternenglanz. Alle Segel aufgespannt, lichte Nacht an Westens Rand, Dorthin, wo die Vögel ziehen, wo des Südens Sterne glühen.
