Der Wandrer, von der Heimat weit, Wenn rings die Gründe schweigen, Der Schiffer in Meeres Einsamkeit, Wenn die Stern aus den Fluten steigen: Die beiden schauern und lesen In stiller Nacht, Was sie nicht gedacht, Da es noch fröhlicher Tag gewesen.

Il viandante, lontano dalla patria, quando tace la terra tutt'intorno, il navigante solo in mezzo al mare, quando dai flutti si levano le stelle: Provano entrambi un brivido leggendo, Nel buio silenzioso, quello che non avevano mai pensato durante il giorno radioso.
