Deep in the Tranquility of the sea
The voice of your mermaid hollow
She opens her mouth to sing
The murk or the night so deep
That metls her swan-like hymn

If only I could stand close to you
Your stretched hand to touch softly
The worship of Wisdom to stroke gently…

The night goes by, the sea your watery grave
Oh, Give me Strength to Face You
In your coral bed supinely lying

Nobody talks anymore and the night is silent
And you, dead , in your heaven
Your father’s paradise, mighty Poseidon
One would think he suckled you with salty water…

And you, still there, a door closed forevermore
For a servant to touch your diaphanous dress
My Wondrous Sea Queen…
The Sea remains your watery grave
An ocean as your celestial bed
And waves are your crystal death…
