by Ioannis Gryparis (1870 - 1942)

Chōrismos
Language: Greek (Ελληνικά) 
Ki ērthe mes stēs agapēs to methysi
o chōrismos mia pikra na mu balē
san kai toytē - ki akoma pio megalē,
tē thalassa pu mas echei chōrisei.

Mia thalassa kai stēn kardia echō kleisei,
pu otan akoyei to kyma sto akrogiali
to aiōnio tu parapono na psallē,
enan thrēnon antiphōno th' archisē.

Antiphōno ena thrēno ki ena klama
pu klaiontas me tē thalassan antama
burkōnei pera ōs pera to gialo.

Ōs pu sterna tēs thalassas ston ammo
xepsychoyn oi kaēmoi - kai paō ki egō
tus ponus mu tragoydia na su kamō.
