OF ALL THE SHIPS Of all the ships the ocean rolls How many find untimely graves Piled high by you upon the shoals, O waves and winds, o winds and waves? How many a bird that leaves its bower And o'er the sky in autumn draves You beat and blindly overpower, O winds and waves, o waves and winds? Should easy luck or high endeavour Be our aim it little saves, For you pursue our footsteps ever, O waves and winds, o winds and waves. Still, it is past our comprehending What design your song enslaves, Rolling on until time's ending, O winds and waves, o waves and winds. II. ALTHOUGH THE WORLD Although the world would call me free Each year the more her slave am I, For in her very way to be There's I don't know what, I don't know why. Already from the day we met Was my freedom mortal shot ? She's but a girl as they, and yet There's something more, I don't know what. No matter what we speak, or do, The moments in sweet silence fly, For somehow there is music too When she is mute, I don't know why. So likely to my dying day To follow her will be my lot, For in her sweet and candid way There's I don't know why, I don't know what. III. DROWSY BIRDS Drowsy birds at even gliding, Round about their nests alight, In among the branches hiding . . . Dear, good night! Silence through the forest creeping, Lullaby the river sighs; In the garden flowers sleeping. . . Shut your eyes! Glides the swan among the rushes To its rest where moonlight gleams, And the angels' whisper hushes. . . Peaceful dreams! O'er the sky stars without number, On the earth a silver light; All is harmony and slumber . . . Dear, good night!
