Love
Seraphina, 15
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From New Poems: Seraphina
Love
The sea appears all golden
Beneath the sunlit sky,
O let me there be buried,
My brethren, when I die.
The sea I have always loved so,
It oft hath cool’d my breast
With its refreshing billows,
Each in the other’s love blest.
