In The Morning I Cast My Net Into The Sea.
I Dragged Up From The Dark Abyss Things Of Strange Aspect And Strange Beauty -- Some Shone Like A Smile, Some Glistened Like Tears, And Some Were Flushed Like The Cheeks Of A Bride.
When With The Day's Burden I Went Home, My Love Was Sitting In The Garden Idly Tearing The Leaves Of A Flower.
I Hesitated For A Moment, And Then Placed At Her Feet All That I Had Dragged Up, And Stood Silent.
She Glanced At Them And Said, 'what Strange Things Are These? I Know Not Of What Use They Are!'
I Bowed My Head In Shame And Thought, 'i Have Not Fought For These, I Did Not Buy Them In The Market; They Are Not Fit Gifts For Her.'
Then The Whole Night Through I Flung Them One By One Into The Street.
In The Morning Travellers Came; They Picked Them Up And Carried Them Into Far Countries.
