You are my Aphrodite
English translation ©
Margarethe Alexandroni
You are my Aphrodite,
born of the ocean’s foam,
as fair as the white crested waves
of ocean spray in the sunshine.
And my deep, dark ocean,
my life, my dusky grave,
my heart’s unrest, ponderous rest,
everything that never lived in the sun.
born of the ocean’s foam,
as fair as the white crested waves
of ocean spray in the sunshine.
And my deep, dark ocean,
my life, my dusky grave,
my heart’s unrest, ponderous rest,
everything that never lived in the sun.
