''WALKING NEXT DAY UPON THE FATAL SHORE"
from THE ATHEIST'S TRAGEDY by CYRIL TOURNEUR


WALKING next day upon the fatal shore,
Among the slaughtered bodies of our men
Which the full-stomached sea had cast upon
The sands, it was my unhappy chance to light
Upon a face, whose favour when it lived,
My astonished mind informed me I had seen!.
He lay in's armour, as if that had been
His coffin; and the weeping sea, like one
Whose milder temper doth lament the death
Of him whom in his rage he slew, runs up
The shore, embraces him, kisses his cheek,
Goes back again, and forces up the sands
To bury him, and every time it parts
Sheds tears upon him, till at last (as if
It could no longer endure to see the man
Whom it had slain, yet loath to leave him) with
A kind of unresolved unwilling pace,
Winding her waves one in another, like
A man that folds his arms or wrings his hands
For grief, ebbed from the body, and descends
As if it would sink down into the earth,
And hide itself for shame of such a deed!.

"Mattina" ( in english "Morning") by Giuseppe Ungaretti is the most beautiful poem, in my opinion:

M'illumino
d'immenso

translated:

I light up
from the immense
