Die Wellen schimmern, das Wasser zieht,
Von ferne klinget des Schiffers Lied.
Es trägt zum Ufer der laue Wind
Die Töne, bis sie verschwommen sind.
Die Nebel steigen, die Möve ruft,
Am Weidensaume her zieht der Duft.
Vom Himmel nieder schauet kein Stern,
Dunkele Wolken ziehen von fern.
Am Ufer wand'l ich in stiller Nacht.
Du bist's, an die ich wieder gedacht!

Dream of love
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The waves shimmer, the water flows,
From the distance sounds the sailor’s song.
The warm winds carry the tones
To the shore, until they have become blurred.
The mists rise, the seagull calls,
The scent wafts along the margin of willows.
No star looks down from heaven,
From afar dark clouds approach.
I wander along the shore in the silent night.
It is you of whom I have thought again!
