Die Gletscher leuchten
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Die Gletscher leuchten Im Mondenlicht, Und Thränen feuchten Mein Angesicht. Die Stürme sausen, Die Möven schrein, Die Wogen brausen, Ich denke dein! Das Land entschwindet Schon fern dem Blick, [Doch zu dir]1 findet Mein Herz zurück; Ich will ihm Schwingen Des Liedes leihn, Es soll dir singen: Ich denke dein!

The glaciers shine
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
The glaciers shine In the moonlight And tears wet My face. The storms bluster, The sea-gulls cry, The waves roar; I think of you! The land vanishes, Already far from view, But my heart finds Its way back to you. I will endow it with the wings of Song; It shall sing to you: I think of you!
