Armenian grief is a sea, <br />A fathomless, boundless main. <br />In that dark expanse drifts my soul, <br />Mournful, in mortal pain. <br />Now furiously it rears <br />And the azure coastline seeks, <br />Now weary it disappears, <br />Seeking peace in the deeps. <br />But neither can it find the bottom, <br />Nor can it reach the shore... <br />In the sea of Armenian sorrows <br />My soul languishes evermore. <br /> <br /> <br />1903<br /><br />Hovhannes Toumanian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/armenian-grief/
