    Of All The Ships

    Uploaded by

    The poem discusses how ships are often lost at sea due to winds and waves, and how birds migrating in the autumn are also at the mercy of winds and waves. While humans may strive for good fortune or great achievement, the winds and waves will always pursue them. Ultimately, the design behind the song of the winds and waves is beyond human understanding, as they will continue rolling on until the end of time.

    OF ALL THE SHIPS By MIHAI EMINESCU Of all the ships the ocean rolls How many find untimely

    graves Piled high by you upon the shoals, O waves and winds, o winds and waves?

    How many a bird that leaves its bower And o'er the sky in autumn draves You beat and blindly overpower, O winds and waves, o waves and winds?

    Should easy luck or high endeavour Be our aim it little saves, For you pursue our footsteps ever, O waves and winds, o winds and waves.

    Still, it is past our comprehending What design your song enslaves, Rolling on until time's ending, O winds and waves, o waves and winds.

    English version by Corneliu M. Popescu * Transcribed by Oana Platon 10th class A " Alexandru Papiu Ilarian " Highschool Dej, Romania Teacher coordinator: Cornelia Platon
