Am fernen Horizonte
Language: German (Deutsch)
Am fernen Horizonte Erscheint, wie ein Nebelbild, Die Stadt mit ihren Thürmen, In Abenddämmrung gehüllt. Ein feuchter Windzug kräuselt Die graue Wasserbahn; Mit traurigem Tacte rudert Der Schiffer in meinem Kahn. Die Sonne hebt sich noch einmal Leuchtend vom Boden empor, Und zeigt mir jene Stelle, Wo ich das Liebste verlor.

Tolimame horizonte
Language: Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba) after the German (Deutsch)
Tolimame horizonte Lyg rūko paveikslas išnyra Miestas su savo bokštais, Apgaubtas vakaro sutemų. Drėgnas vėjas garbanoja Pilką upės vagą; Liūdnu ritmu irkluoja Valtininkas mano valtį. Saulė pakyla dar kartą Atsispindėdama nuo paviršiaus, Ir rodo man tą vietą, Kur aš praradau mylimąją.
