Original text and translations

German text Finstere Schatten der Nacht, Wogen- und Wirbelgefahr! Sind wohl, die da gelind rasten auf sicherem Lande, euch zu begreifen im Stande? Das ist der nur allein, welcher auf wilder See stürmischer Öde treibt, Meilen entfernt vom Strande. German text by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800-1875) Based on a text in Persian by Hafis (Mohammed Schemsed-din) (c1327-1390) [text unavailable]

English translation Dark shades of night, dangers of waves and whirlpools! Are those who rest there so mildly on firm ground capable of comprehending you? No: only one who is tossed about on the wild sea's stormy desolation, miles from the shore.
