Sunrise
By Fyodor Tyutchev (18031873)
T
The joyous sails were full distended;
And like a heaven beneath us stretching,
The sea with misty light was blended.
Her veil from off her locks untying.
Heaven seemed to glow upon her features,
As on her lips the prayer was sighing.
She knelt, her beauteous head inclining.
And on her young cheeks, fresh and blooming,
The tear-drops stood like jewels shining.
