The Sea
Why does the sea laugh, Mother,
As it glints beneath the sun?
It is thinking of the joys my child,
That it wishes everyone.
Why does the sea sob so, Mother,
As it breaks on the rocky shore?

It recalls the sorrow of the world

And weeps forevermore.

Why is the sea so peaceful, Mother,

As if it were fast asleep?
It would give our tired hearts, dearest child,
The comforts of the deep.
