Lines written while sailing in a boat Lyrics by John Fernström

Songs of the Sea, Op. 62

0

How richly glows the water's breast
Before us, tinged with evening hues
While, facing thus the crimson west
The boat her silent course pursues!
And see how dark the backward stream!
A little moment past so smiling!
And still, perhaps, with faithless gleam
Some other loiterers beguiling
Such views the youthful Bard allure;
But, heedless of the following gloom
He deems their colours shall endure
Till peace go with him to the tomb
-- And let him nursе his fond deceit
And what if he must diе in sorrow!
Who would not cherish dreams so sweet
Though grief and pain may come to-morrow?
