Mickiewicz, Adam: Over water (Nad wodą ... in English)
Nad wodą ... (Polish)
Nad wodą wielką i czystą |
Over water (English)Over water wild and clear
Crags stand in rows. In its limpid glass appear Their black brows Over water wide and clear Thunder clatters. In its limpid glass appear Lightning's glitters. And the water wide and clear Does still a limpid glass appear. I see this water all around, Reflect it all as i a glass. And the crag's brow black and proud, The lightning flash - I see and pass. The crags must stand and lour, The clouds condense in shower, The lightning crash and go, And I must flow, must flow, must flow. |
