Stanzas for music

There be none of Beauty's daughters
  With a magic like thee;
And like music on the waters
  Is thy sweet voice to me:
When, as if its sound were causing
The charmèd ocean's pausing,
The waves lie still and gleaming,
And the lull'd winds seem dreaming:

And the midnight moon is weaving
  Her bright chain o'er the deep;
Whose breast is gently heaving
  As an infant's asleep:
So the spirit bows before thee,
To listen and adore thee;
With a full but soft emotion,
Like the swell of Summer's ocean.

by George Gordon Noel Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824) , "Stanzas for music", from Poems, published 1816

Keine von der Erde Schönen

Keine von der Erde Schönen
Waltet zaubernd gleich dir;
Auf der Flut ein Silbertönen
Dünkt deine Stimme mir.
Leiser wird des Meeres Rauschen,
Entzückt dir zu lauschen,
Legt sich der Wogen Schäumen,
Alle die Winde träumen;

Golden webt der Mond auf Wellen sein Netz,
Sanft scheint der Flut
Die volle Brust zu schwellen,
Wie ein Kind schlummernd ruht:
So sink' ich zu deinen Füßen,
Anbetend dich zu grüßen;
Wie die See vom West beweget,
Voll und sanft in mir sich's reget.
