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.

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.
