You sleep,
you die.
Steely blue,
convulsing,
sweating saltwater.
And I,
will lick
each drop from
your icy skin
and think of home.

He sees the waves begin to bubble
And suddenly grow calm again.
Then -- white as first snow in the highlands,
Light-footed as nocturnal shade,
There comes ashore, and sits in silence
Upon the bank, a naked maid.

THE WATER-NYMPH
Alexander Pushkin

Laid him, my beautiful,
Laid him to rest,
Loving, adorable,
Softly to rest,
Here in my crystalline,
Here in my breast!

THE WATER NYMPH AND THE BOY
