Det dryper stille fra båtens årer. Det dryper stille som tille tårer. Sma bølger risler omkring min båt som klynk i søvne, som stille gråt. Min båt går også i dype drømme på sjøens slumrende, sakte strømme. Og alting sover, hvorhen jeg føres, og mine øjne og tanker sløres. Jeg glider ind i en gylden rus, hvor nattens slummer, mit hjertes kummer og havets sus og alt forstummer.
