! ''Die Stadt''
! The town
|-
| ''Am grauen Strand, am grauen Meer<br>Und seitab liegt die Stadt;<br>Der Nebel drückt die Dächer schwer,<br>Und durch die Stille braust das Meer<br>Eintönig um die Stadt.''
| By the grey shore, by the grey sea<br>&mdash;And close by lies the town&mdash;<br>The fog rests heavy round the roofs<br>And through the silence roars the sea<br>Monotonously round the town.
|-
| ''Es rauscht kein Wald, es schlägt im Mai<br>Kein Vogel ohn' Unterlaß;<br>Die Wandergans mit hartem Schrei<br>Nur fliegt in Herbstesnacht vorbei,<br>Am Strande weht das Gras.''
| No forest murmurs, no bird sings<br>Unceasingly in May;<br>The wand'ring goose with raucous cry<br>On autumn nights just passes by,<br>On the shoreline waves the grass.
|-
| ''Doch hängt mein ganzes Herz an dir,<br>Du graue Stadt am Meer;<br>Der Jugend Zauber für und für<br>Ruht lächelnd doch auf dir, auf dir,<br>Du graue Stadt am Meer.''
| Yet all my heart remains with you,<br>O grey town by the sea;<br>Youth's magic ever and a day<br>Rests smiling still on you, on you,<br>O grey town by the sea.
