Original text and translations

English text

There’s solemn music in the billows
Of the mighty, restless sea;
Lively music poured from brooklets,
As they gambol in their glee,
There’s awful music in the thunders;
Lulling music in the rains;
Music echoed from the forest,
In the thousand living strains.

There’s silent music in the flowers,
And the planets’ genial fires;
Music grandest in the rivers,
Where they tune their cataract lyres;
There’s cheering music all around us,
Thrilling music from above;
And the magic tones should teach us
Sweeter, nobler strains of love.
