A poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Calm at Sea

________________________________________________
Title:     Calm at Sea
Author: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe [More Titles by Goethe]

SILENCE deep rules o'er the waters,

Calmly slumb'ring lies the main,
While the sailor views with trouble

Nought but one vast level plain.

Not a zephyr is in motion!

Silence fearful as the grave!
In the mighty waste of ocean

Sunk to rest is ev'ry wave.


1795.
