Est in arundineis modulatio musica ripis <br /> <br />In ocean waves there's melody <br />There's harmony within the clash of elements, <br />And a harmonious tuneful whisper <br />Streams through the rippling rushes. <br />There's unperturbable order everywhere, <br />Full consonance in nature, <br />And only our illusory freedom <br />Is out of tune with her. <br />Whence, how did this dischord arise? <br />And why, amidst the universal chorus, <br />Do human souls not sing as does the sea, <br />Why does the sentient reed sigh? <br />And from the earth unto the highest stars <br />Unanswered to this very day <br />A voice lamenting in the wilderness, <br />The soul protests despairingly?<br /><br />Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-ocean-waves-there-s-melody/
