Rocks

Today I have been so cheerful.

But now I hardly breathe,

and my smile is hazy, weary.

Far away, somewhere beyond the Scottish shore,

blue rocks rise from the very sea,

so enormous, so lonely, so dreary.

I remember them. I see them now.

Their blue color entangles my soul.

A horrible shudder comes over me,

also an endless sorrow.
