by Edith Irene Södergran (1892 - 1923)

Det underliga havet
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FRE
Sällsamma fiskar glida i djupen, 
okända blommor lysa på stranden; 
jag har sett rött och gult och alla andra färger, - 
men det granna, granna havet är farligast att se, 
det gör en törstig och vaken för väntande äventyr: 
vad som har hänt i sagan, skall hända även mig!
