Calm At Sea
Read 'Calm At Sea' by 'Johann Wolfgang von Goethe' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
SILENCE deep rules o'er the waters,
Calmly slumb'ring lies the main,
While the sailor views with trouble
Nought but one vast level plain.
Not a zephyr is in motion!
Silence fearful as the grave!
In the mighty waste of ocean
Sunk to rest is ev'ry wave.
1795.
