Eingewiegt von Meereswellen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
Eingewiegt von Meereswellen Und von träumenden Gedanken, Lieg' ich still in der Kajüte, In dem dunkeln Winkelbette. Durch die offne Luke schau' ich Droben hoch die hellen Sterne, Die geliebten, süßen Augen Meiner süßen Vielgeliebten. Die geliebten, süßen Augen Wachen über meinem Haupte, Und sie blinken und sie winken Aus der blauen Himmelsdecke. Nach der blauen Himmelsdecke Schau' ich selig lange Stunden, Bis ein weißer Nebelschleier Mir verhüllt die lieben Augen.

Cradled by the waves of ocean
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Cradled by the waves of ocean, And by drowsy thoughts and visions, Still I lie within the cabin, In my berth so dark and narrow. Through the open hatchway yonder, I can see the stars clear shining. The belovèd eyes so gentle, Of my gentle well-belovèd. The belovèd eyes so gentle Hold above my head their vigil; And they glimmer and they beckon From the azure vault of heaven. On the azure vault of heaven, Still I gaze through blessed hours, Till a white and filmy vapor Veils from me those eyes belovèd.
