In hours of ebbing tide, oh trust not to the Sea! <br />It will come back to shore with redness of the morrow; <br />O don't believe in me when in the trance of sorrow <br />I swear I am no longer true to thee! <br /> <br />The waves will roll again in dazzling ecstasy, <br />From far away, with joy, to the beloved shore; <br />And I with breast aflame, beneath thy charm once more, <br />Shall haste to bring my liberty to thee!<br /><br />Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-hours-of-ebbing-tide/
