Ewig muntres Spiel der Wogen!
Viele hast du schon belogen,
Mancher kehrt nicht mehr zurück.
Und doch weckt das Wellenschlagen
Immer wieder frisches Wagen,
Falsch und lustig wie das Glück.

Meditazione 6 dalle "Meditazioni del viandante"

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Eterno e allegro gioco delle onde!
Per molti sei già stato causa di inganno,
e più d'uno non ha fatto più ritorno.
E tuttavia risveglia l'agitarsi dei flutti
Ancora e sempre un ardimento nuovo,
falso e gioioso come la fortuna.
