Leiden der Trennung
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
Vom Meere trennt sich die Welle,
Und seufzet durch Blumen im Thal,
Und fühlet gewiegt in der Quelle,
Gebannt in dem Brunnen nur - Qual!
[Sie sehnt sich,]1 die Welle,
In lispelnder Quelle,
Im murmelnden Bache,
Im Brunnengemache
Zum Meer, von dem sie kam,
[Aus]2 dem sie Leben nahm,
Von dem, des Irrens matt und müde,
Sie süße Ruh verhofft und Friede.

Scheidingsverdriet
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Van zee neemt afscheid het water,
Gaat zuchtend door bloemen in 't dal,
En voelt dan, gewiegd in de springbron,
Geklemd in de welput, slechts pijn.
Zo hunkert het water
In lisp'lende golfjes,
In 't murmelend beekje,
In 't enge fonteintje,
Naar zee, vanwaar het kwam,
Waarvan het leven nam,
Waarvan 't, al zwervend moegestreden,
Nu zoete rust verhoopt en vrede.
