At The Window Towards The Sea Poem by Peter Mamara

by M. Eminescu (1850-1889)

The daughter of a king stands
At the window facing the sea

The sea floor, the sea floor,
Reflects her fair contour.

And the fisherman sails a boat
He always looks into the deep.
The sea floor, the sea floor,
Oh, for a long time it shows him a face.

"I never turned my eye.
Towards the castle, but I still cry.
The sea floor, the sea floor,
It draws me towards the deep."

(1876)
