Thou boundless, shining, glorious sea

Thou boundless, shining, glorious sea,

With ecstacy I gaze on thee,

I gaze on thee.

Joy, joy to him whose early beam

Kisses thy lips, bright ocean stream,

Bright ocean stream

Drunk with joy, thou deep toned sea,

My spirit swells to Heav'n with thee,

To Heav'n with thee.

Or sinking with thee, seeks the gloom

Of nature's deep mysterious tomb,

Mysterious tomb.
