I

Held in the refuge of your arms,
This night I hear the storming sea;
High is the anger of its wave,
Deep is the breast of love to me.

II

Gleam now the flying fish and star!
Strike now the tolling of a bell!
Washed in the lustre of our dream
We hide in sleep as in a shell.

III

Held in the refuge of your arms,
This night I hear the storming sea;
High is the anger of its wave,
Deep is the breast of love to me.
