Rocking

Rocking
by Gabriela Mistral
translated by Ethan Unklesbay

The sea with its thousand waves,
rocks divinely.
The loving seas in my ears,
I rock my child.

The wandering wind of night
Rocks fields of grain.
The loving winds in my ears,
I rock my child.

God, Father of thousands of worlds,
Rocks them gently.
His hand felt in the shadows,
I rock my child.
