Finstere Schatten der Nacht,
Wogen- und Wirbelgefahr!
Sind wohl, die da gelind
rasten auf sicherem Lande,
euch zu begreifen im Stande?
Das ist der nur allein,
welcher auf wilder See
stürmischer Öde treibt,
Meilenentfernt vom Strande.

Oscure ombre notturne
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Oscure ombre notturne
presagio di flutti tempestosi!
Sarà mai capace, chi tranquillo
riposa sulla terra ferma,
di capire il vostro linguaggio?
Soltanto lo può colui,
che sopra il mare selvaggio
sta solo in balìa di tempesta
lontano molte miglia dalla costa.
