"O'er all the hilltops
Is quiet now,
In all the treetops
Hearest thou
Hardly a breath;
The birds are asleep in the trees:
Wait, soon like these
Thou too shalt rest"

“I have sailed over Rungholt town today,
six hundred years ago it was washed away.
The waves still pound there, wild and harsh,
just as before, when they destroyed the marsh.
...
From the sea comes a weird and mocking shriek: Trutz, blanke Hans!" (Liliencron)

"See, how clear and bright
Is the moon-light finding ways
'Mong the riven clouds
That, with drifting autumn-wind,
Gracefully float o'er the sky!" (Fujiwara no Akisuke)
