Boundless Hope - ZaunköniG - 30.07.2007
Boundless Hope
I am a spirit of the boundless main,
For though my argosies go down to sea:
Though wreck and ruin strike the heart of me,
Yet over all the failure and the pain,
I see my dream ships sail the watery plain,
As fair against the Future's golden skies
As if some heaven opened on my eyes,
And thrilled Earth's losses with immortal gain.
For deep within my soul the surges pour,
Their everlasting yearning in my ears:
And while they ring their triumph evermore
Above defeat, Time's transient pain and tears,
I drink life's larger hope upon the shore,
And hear the music of eternal years.
