The ocean has its silent caves, <br />Deep, quiet and alone; <br />Though there be fury on the waves, <br />Beneath them there is none. <br />The awful spirits of the deep <br />Hold their communion there; <br />And there are those for whom we weep, <br />The young, the bright, the fair. <br /> <br />Calmly the wearied seamen rest <br />Beneath their own blue sea. <br />The ocean solitudes are blest, <br />For there is purity. <br />The earth has guilt, the earth has care, <br />Unquiet are its graves; <br />But peaceful sleep is ever there, <br />Beneath the dark blue waves.<br /><br />Nathaniel Hawthorne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-ocean-49/
