Song language: English
The Seafarer |
| The sea will wash in but the rocks-jagged ribs |
| riding the cloth of foam or a knob or pinnacles |
| with gannets- |
| are the stubborn man. |
| He invites the storm, he lives by it! |
| instinct with fears that are not fears but prickles of ecstacy, |
| a secret liquor, a fire that inflames his blood to coldness so that |
| the rocks seem rather to leap at |
| the sea than the sea to envelope them. |
| They strain forward to grasp ships or even the |
| sky itself that bends down to be torn upon them. |
| To which he says, It is I! |
| I who am the rocks! |
| Without me nothing laughs. |
