Sunrise

Language: English

Our translations: GER

Sunrise gilds the crested sea
That mocks grim Oban's might
But at his feet sways sullenly
A ship that died 'the night.

The ocean's breast doth throb no more
For such a wreck as she.
The rocks gnaw at her broken heart;
The sun shines pit'lessly.

Sonnenaufgang

Language: German (Deutsch) after the English

Die aufgehende Sonne vergoldet die Meereswellen
Die Obans Macht verhöhnen
Doch zu seinen Füßen schaukelt mürrisch
Ein Schiff, dass starb in der Nacht.

Des Ozeans Brust schlägt nicht länger
Für sie, ein schäbiges Wrack.
Die Felsen nagen an ihrem gebrochenen Herzen;
Die Sonne brennt gnadenlos herab.
