The document is a poem about the relationship between the sea and the shore. It describes their love and how they interact through the changing tides. The sea sings to the shore, caresses and embraces him. When the tide withdraws, the sea prays at the shore's feet. The sea watches over creatures in the water and brings drowned souls to the shore to be strengthened. Though sleepless and weakened, the sea's love for the shore is eternal.

2. The strong shore is my beloved and I am his sweetheart.

3. We are at last united by love, and then the moon draws me from him. I go to him in haste and depart reluctantly, with many little farewells.

5. I quench his thirst and submerge his heart; he softens my voice and subdues my temper. At dawn I recite the rules of love upon his ears, and he embraces me longingly.

9. Many times I have teased the great rocks and fondled them with a smile, but I have never received laughter from them; many times I have lifted drowning souls and carried them tenderly to my beloved shore. He gives them strength as he takes mine.

10. Many times I have stolen gems from the depths and presented them to my beloved shore. He takes them in silence, but I still give fro he welcomes me ever.

11. In the heaviness of night, when all creatures seek the ghost of slumber, I sit up, singing at one time and sighing at another. I am always awake.

12. Alas! Sleeplessness has weakened me! But I am a lover, and the truth of love is strong. I may be weary, but I shall never die.
