English.png English text

Hark! the vesper hymn is stealing
O’er the waters soft and clear;
Nearer yet and nearer pealing,
Now is bursts upon the ear.
Jubilate, jubilate, jubilate, Amen!
Farther now, now farther stealing
Soft it fades upon the ear.

Now, like moonlight waves retreating
To the shore it dies along;
Now like angry surges meeting
Breaks the mingled tide of song.
Jubilate, jubilate, jubilate, Amen!
Hush! again like waves retreating
To the shore it dies along.

1st German translation

Horch, die Wellen tragen bebend
sanft und rein den Vesperchor;
näher jetzt und näher schwebend,
schwillt er mächtig zu dem Ohr.
Jubilate, jubilate, jubilate, amen!
Ferner nun und ferner bebend,
sanft entschwindet er dem Ohr;

Wie die Mondlichtwelle kehret
von dem Strande stirbt's entlang;
wie die Flut sich wild empöret,
braust der wogende Gesang.
Jubilate, jubilate, jubilate, amen!
Horch jetzt, wie die Woge kehret,
von dem Strande stirbt's entlang.
