English translation by Ivan Peček: SAILING ANEW The sky is getting brighter. The Sun is born. A ship is sailing out of the port; One that had been long tied to the dock, All damaged, with wounds on her sides. The sea, like her mother, pulls her to its lap. It sways her and it whispers to her: Nothing happened. contact: www.facebook.com/m.marulic.choir m.marulic_choir@yahoo.com  less

Text by Janet Loxley Lewis, from "The Selected Poems of Janet Lewis". Recorded live on Friday, May 16, 2014, at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Concert choir ensemble of the Girl choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. Below the gardens and the darkening pines The living water sinks among the stones, Sinking yet foaming till the snowy tones Merge with the fog drawn landward in dim lines. The cloud dissolves among the flowering vines, And now the definite mountain-side disowns The fluid world, the immeasurable zones. Then white oblivion swallows all designs. But still the rich confusion of the sea, Unceasing voice, sombre and solacing, Rises through veils of silence past the trees; In restless repetition bound, yet free, Wave after wave in deluge fresh releasing An ancient speech, hushed in tremendous ease.  less
