SILENCE deep rules o'er the waters, <br /> <br />Calmly slumb'ring lies the main, <br />While the sailor views with trouble <br /> <br />Nought but one vast level plain. <br /> <br />Not a zephyr is in motion! <br /> <br />Silence fearful as the grave! <br />In the mighty waste of ocean <br /> <br />Sunk to rest is ev'ry wave.<br /><br />Johann Wolfgang von Goethe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/calm-at-sea/
