WE WAVES
by: August Strindberg (1849-1912)
 E, we waves,
- That are rocking the winds
- To rest--
- Green cradles, we waves!
-
- Wet are we, and salty;
- Leap like flames of fire--
- Wet flames are we:
- Burning, extinguishing;
- Cleansing, replenishing;
- Bearing, engendering.
-
- We, we waves,
- That are rocking the winds
- To rest!
