O, patient sea…
wait for me.
I will always return.
I cannot forget the sea.
The constant sea will wait for me,
I will always return.
The breaking sea o'erflows my view,
it tumbles and splashes and glides to me,
I will return to gaze anew.
I will return to face the sea.
O, patient sea,
you need not wait for long for me.
