Original text and translations

English text Silent lay the sapphire ocean, Till a tempest came to wake All its roaring, seething billows That upon earth's ramparts break. Quiet was my heart within me, Till your image, suddenly Rising there, awoke a tumult Wilder than the storm at sea. inspired by a Russian poem written by Apollon N. Majkov (1821-1897)

German translation Die saphirne See lag schweigend, bis ein Sturm mit wilder Hand Gischten türmte, die mit Brüllen bersten an der Klippen Wand. In mir schwieg mein Herze stille, bis dein Bild mit flammend Glut ein Verlangen drin entfachte, wilder als des Sturmes Wut. Poetic translation released under the CPDL license by Jan-Frerk Burmester .
