Musing on the roaring ocean

Musing on the roaring ocean
Which divides my love and me;
Wearying Heaven in warm devotion,
For his weal where'er he be;
Hope and fear's alternate billow
Yielding late to nature's law;
Whispering spirits round my pillow
Talk of him that 's far awa.
Ye whom sorrow never wounded,
Ye who never shed a tear,
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded,
Gaudy day to you is dear.
Gentle night, do thou befriend me;
Downy sleep, the curtain draw;
Spirits kind, again attend me,
Talk of him that 's far awa!

Am Strande
Language:
German
Traurig schau ich von der Klippe
auf die Flut, die uns getrennt,
und mit Inbrunst fleht die Lippe,
schone seiner, Element!
Furcht ist meiner Seele Meister,
ach, und Hoffnung schwindet schier;
nur im Traume bringen Geister
vom Geliebten Kunde mir.
Die ihr, fröhliche Genossen,
gold'ner Tag' in Lust und Schmerz,
Kummertränen nie vergossen,
ach, ihr kennt nicht meinen Schmerz!
Sei mir mild, o nächt'ge Stunde,
auf das Auge senke Ruh,
holde Geister, flüstert Kunde
vom Geliebten dann mir zu.
