English text

By the lone seashore
Mournfully beat the waves;
Mournfully evermore
The wild wind sobs and raves.

A sadness and a sense of deep unrest
Brood on the clouds and on the waters’ breast.
But lo! the white seamew careering,
Float indolently by, float indolently by.

And lo! a snowy sail appearing
Gleams fair against the sky,
The sadness and the loneliness depart,
And nature smiles with sympathy of heart.
