Musing on the roaring ocean
Language:

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
Starrend in Meeres Gähnen,
Das den Liebling von mir trennt,
Hauch' um ihn ich all mein Sehnen
Im Gebet zum Firmament.
Nur an Schlummers weicher Schwelle
Wiegen Geister ein mein Lied,
Furcht und Hoffnungs Wechselwelle
Spricht von ihm, der weit, so weit!
Die euch Kummer nie gedrücket
Jeder Tag euch, der erscheint.
Glücklich Völkchen, hoch entzücket
Jeder Tag euch, der erscheint.
Sanfte Nacht, lös meine Glieder,
Schlaf, den Vorhang halt bereit,
Holde Geister, naht euch wieder,
Sprecht von him, der weit, so weit!
