Original text and translations

English text

There is freedom in the ocean,
    There is spirit in the breeze,
There is life in every motion
    Of the ever restless seas.

With the bending crest of foam
    In the sunny radiance glancing;
And the rippling sounds that come
    Still dying, still advancing.

And will it not be joyous,
    When this mortal coil is o’er,
And its cares no more annoy us,
    To meet upon that shore,

Where the waves of life are sparkling
    In the regions of the blest;
Where the heart is no more darkling,
    But the spirit is at rest.
