THE WAVE
THE WAVE
THE WAVE
See yon wave
Come to shore.
It rises from the bowels
Of the sleeping oceans
And after many a days’
Troubled travel
Dies on a strange beach.
Oh how futile
Life’s sojourn
That this dust
Should rise
To fall.
Come to shore.
It rises from the bowels
Of the sleeping oceans
And after many a days’
Troubled travel
Dies on a strange beach.
Oh how futile
Life’s sojourn
That this dust
Should rise
To fall.
Kariba, 1990

THE WAVE
See yon wave
Come to shore.
It rises from the bowels
Of the sleeping oceans
And after many a days’
Troubled travel
Dies on a strange beach.
Oh how futile
Life’s sojourn
That this dust
Should rise
To fall.
Come to shore.
It rises from the bowels
Of the sleeping oceans
And after many a days’
Troubled travel
Dies on a strange beach.
Oh how futile
Life’s sojourn
That this dust
Should rise
To fall.
