Mihai Eminescu - Of All The Ships

2014-10-29 31 Dailymotion

Of all the ships the ocean rolls <br />How many find untimely graves <br />Piled high by you upon the shoals, <br />O waves and winds, o winds and waves? <br /> <br />How many a bird that leaves its bower <br />And o’er the sky in autumn droves <br />You beat and blindly overpower, <br />O waves and winds, o winds and waves? <br /> <br />Should easy luck or high endeavour <br />Be our aim it little saves, <br />For you pursue our footsteps ever, <br />O waves and winds, o winds and waves? <br /> <br />Still, it is past our comprehending <br />What design your song enslaves, <br />Rolling on until time’s ending, <br />O waves and winds, o winds and waves? <br /> <br />(Translated by Corneliu M. Popescu)<br /><br />Mihai Eminescu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/of-all-the-ships/
