\nDe kaart<\/em><\/big><\/p>\n

L\u00e2n leit yn wetter; it is beskade mei grien.
\nSkaden, of binne it skolten, l\u00e2ns syn iggen
\ntoane de ronfel fan lange beseewierde richels
\nd\u00ear\u2019t wier nei it sljochte blau delhinget \u00fat grien.
\nOf b\u00fbcht it l\u00e2n foaroer, tilt it de see op fan \u00fbnderen,
\nl\u00fbkt it dy \u00fbnfersteurber om him hinne?
\nSkuort byl\u00e2ns de tanige, s\u00e2nige, tinne
\nr\u00e2ne it l\u00e2n oan de see, fan \u00fbnderen?<\/p>\n

It skaad fan Newfoundland leit flak en blak.
\nLabrador is giel d\u00ear\u2019t de dreamerige Eskimo
\nit ynfette hat. Streakje kinne wy dizze leaflike baaien,
\n\u00fbnder gl\u00eas as soenen sy blossemje moatte
\nof in skjinne kouwe biede oan \u00fbnsichtbere fisken.
\nDe nammen fan kustplakken rinne \u00fat nei see,
\nde nammen fan st\u00eaden kruse de oanbuorjende bergen
\n\u2013 de printer hat hjir deselde oeralligens h\u00e2n
\nas wannear\u2019t emoasje te fier syn oarsaak oerstiicht.
\nDizze skiereilannen fetsje it wetter tusken tomme en finger,
\nas froulju dy\u2019t de gl\u00eadens fan lapkeguod befiele.<\/p>\n

Kartearre wetters binne kalmer as it l\u00e2n is,
\nliene it l\u00e2n fan harren weagen de eigen formaasje:
\nNoarwegens hazze fljocht s\u00fadop yn agitaasje,
\nprofilen \u00fbndersykje de see, d\u00ear w\u00ear\u2019t l\u00e2n is.
\nWurde se tawiisd of kieze steaten sels harren kleuren?
\n\u2013 Wat by de aard of de ynl\u00e2nske wetters it b\u00easte past.
\nTopografy etalearret gjin foarkar; noard is like tichtby as west.
\nTearder as dy fan skiedskriuwers binne kaartmakkerskleuren.<\/p>\n

The Map<\/em><\/big><\/p>\n

Land lies in water; it is shadowed green.
\nShadows, or are they shallows, at its edges
\nshowing the line of long sea-weeded ledges
\nwhere weeds hang to the simple blue from green.
\nOr does the land lean down to lift the sea from under,
\ndrawing it unperturbed around itself?
\nAlong the fine tan sandy shelf
\nis the land tugging at the sea from under?<\/p>\n

The shadow of Newfoundland lies flat and still.
\nLabrador\u2019s yellow, where the moony Eskimo
\nhas oiled it. We can stroke these lovely bays,
\nunder a glass as if they were expected to blossom,
\nor as if to provide a clean cage for invisible fish.
\nThe names of seashore towns run out to sea,
\nthe names of cities cross the neighboring mountains
\n\u2014the printer here experiencing the same excitement
\nas when emotion too far exceeds its cause.
\nThese peninsulas take the water between thumb and finger
\nlike women feeling for the smoothness of yard-goods.<\/p>\n

Mapped waters are more quiet than the land is,
\nlending the land their waves\u2019 own conformation:
\nand Norway\u2019s hare runs south in agitation,
\nprofiles investigate the sea, where land is.
\nAre they assigned, or can the countries pick their colors?
\n\u2014What suits the character or the native waters best.
\nTopography displays no favorites; North\u2019s as near as West.
\nMore delicate than the historians\u2019 are the map-makers\u2019 colors.<\/p>\n
