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.


As the moon's reflection trembles
in the wild tempestuous Ocean
whilst herself, she glides serenely
thro' the sky in silent motion

Thus thou wander'st my beloved
still and safely, and thy image
in my bosom trembles only,
whilst my heart's so wildly beating
