The sea of tears overflows its shores round about
And here I take a tub of tears, -
Probably in the sea of actual tears I swim to the ocean of tears.

Here I willy-nillly lose my head -
Facing nature alone!
Maybe in vain
We dealt with at school, that the sea -
Is of kitchen salt...
If I could at least meet an ice-floe,
Or a nice dolphin.
