Dorthin - will ich; und ich traue Mir fortan und meinem Griff. Offen liegt das Meer, ins Blaue Treibt mein Genueser Schiff. Alles glänzt mir neu und neuer, Mittag schläft auf Raum und Zeit -: Nur dein Auge - ungeheuer Blickt michs an, Unendlichkeit!

Thither - I wish to go, and I trust Myself forthwith, and my grasp. The sea lies open [before me], into the blue Drifts my Genoese ship. Everything shines new and newer for me Noonday is sleeping in time and space - : Only your eye - tremendously Gazes upon me, Endlessness!
