Odysseus

________________________________________________
Title:     Odysseus
Author: Frederich Schiller [More Titles by Schiller]

Seeking to find his home, Odysseus crosses each water;
Through Charybdis so dread; ay, and through Scylla's wild yells,
Through the alarms of the raging sea, the alarms of the land too,--
E'en to the kingdom of hell leads him his wandering course.
And at length, as he sleeps, to Ithaca's coast fate conducts him;
There he awakes, and, with grief, knows not his fatherland now.

[The end]
Frederich Schiller's poem: Odysseus
