Wie des Mondes Abbild zittert

Wie des Mondes Abbild zittert
in den wilden Meereswogen,
und er selber still und sicher
wandelt an dem Himmelsbogen:

Also wandelst du, Geliebte,
still und sicher, und es zittert
nur dein Abbild mir im Herzen,
weil mein eignes Herz erschüttert.

by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) , no title, from Neue Gedichte, in Neuer Frühling, no. 23

Heine love song

The image of the moon at night
All trembling in the ocean lies,
But she, with calm and steadfast light,
Moves proudly through the radiant skies,

How like the tranquil moon thou art--
Thou fairest flower of womankind!
And, look, within my fluttering heart
Thy image trembling is enshrined!

by Eugene Field (1850-1895) , "A Heine love song"

a text in German by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) , no title, from Neue Gedichte, in Neuer Frühling, no. 23
