The Sea
The Sea
She’s there dancing along the bright bays
Reflections of silver
The Sea
Reflections shimmer
In the rain
The Sea
In the summer sky
Her white sheep fly
With angels so pure
The sea, shepherd azure
Infinite
Look there
Near those ponds
That tall wet grass
Look there
Those white herons
And those rusted shacks
The Sea
Rocked them all
Along the bright bays
And with a love song
The Sea
Calmed my heart all my days

About translator
I substituted "fly" for "merge" because of the obvious rhyme with sky. I also substituted "herons" for "birds" because it rhymes with ponds. I chose "bright bays" over "clear gulfs" because of the alliteration and the end rhyme with "all my days."
