Hawker, Robert Stephen: Pater Vester Pascit Illa - ZaunköniG - 01.07.2007 Pater Vester Pascit Illa Our bark is on the waters! wide around The wandering wave; above, the lonely sky: Hush! a young sea-bird floats, and that quick cry Shrieks to the levelled weapon's echoing sound: Grasp its lank wing, and on, with reckless bound! Yet, creature of the surf, a sheltering breast To-night shall haunt in vain thy far-off nest, A call unanswered search the rocky ground. Lord of Leviathan! when Ocean heard Thy gathering voice, and sought his native breeze; When whales first plunged with life, and the proud deep Felt unborn tempests heave in troubled sleep, Thou didst provide, even for this nameless bird, Home and a natural love amid the surging seas. |
