Silently tilted by the swell, | |||
Do not heed the cradles | |||
Rocked by the hands of women. | |||
But the day of farewell will come, | |||
For it must be that the women weep, | |||
And that the inquisitive men | |||
Challenge the lure of the horizon. | |||
And that day the great ships, | |||
Fleeing from the fading harbor, | |||
Feel their weight held back | |||
By the soul of the distant cradles.</poem> | |||
