Es ziehen die brausenden Wellen

Es ziehen die brausenden Wellen
wohl nach dem Strand;
sie schwellen und zerschellen
wohl auf dem Sand.

Sie kommen groß und kräftig,
ohne Unterlaß;
sie werden endlich heftig -
was hilft uns das?

by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) , no title, from Neue Gedichte, in Verschiedene, in Seraphine, no. 13
