1 Es ragt ins Meer der Runenstein,
2 Da sitz’ ich mit meinen Träumen.
3 Es pfeift der Wind, die Möwen schrein,
4 Die Wellen, die wandern und schäumen.
 
5 Ich habe geliebt manch schönes Kind                                
6 Und manchen guten Gesellen–
7 Wo sind sie hin? Es pfeift der Wind,
8 Es schäumen und wandern die Wellen.
