La Mer

The sea
That we see dancing
Along the clear gulfs
Has silver reflections
The sea
With changing reflections
Under the rain

The sea
In the summer sky confuses
Its white sheep
With the angels so pure
The sea
Shepherdess of azure
Infinite

See
Near the ponds
Those tall wet reeds
See
Those white birds
And those rusty houses

The sea
Has cradled them
Along the clear gulfs
And with a love song
The sea
Has cradled my heart
For life
