Schrecklich ist es, deiner Wahrheit / Sterbliches Gefäss zu seyn.
Schiller / High fate is theirs, ye sleepless waves, whose ear / Learns Freedom's lesson from your voice of fear; / Whose spell-bound sense from childhood's hour hath known / Familiar meanings in your mystic tone: / Sounds of deep import -- voices that beguile / Age of its tears and childhood of its smile, / To yearn with speechless impulse to the free / And gladsome greetings of the buoyant sea!
