Original text and translations
English text
The steep and rugged cliffs,
The lake, the dark wood sighing,
Like deep reflection seem
Profound and calmly lying.
And there, with thundering roar,
Between the rocks wild gushing,
Like to the hardy act,
The waterfall is rushing.
Thou shouldst, like yonder lake
Reflecting stay, deep thinking,
Then boldly, like the stream,
Rush on to act unflinching.
