Within the sea the stars are straying,

Like wanderers in an unknown land.

The lights celestial in the waters

Are flaming clearly as above,

As though the very heavens descended,

To seal a covenant of love.

Perchance both sea and sky, twin oceans,

From the same source of grace are sprung.

'Twixt these my heart, a third sea, surges,

With songs resounding, clearly sung.
