DIBAWA GELOMBANG

Karya: Sanusi Pane

Alun membawa bidukku perlahan,

Dalam kesunyian malam waktu,
Tidak berpawang, tidak berkawan,
Entah kemana aku tak tahu.

Jatuh di atas bintang kemilau,

Seperti sudah berabad-abad,
Dengan damai mereka meninjau,
Kehidupan bumi, yang kecil amat.

Aku bernyanyi dengan suara,

Seperti bisikan angin di daun;
Suaraku hilang dalam udara,
Dalam laut yang beralun-alun.

Alun membawa hidupku perlahan,

Dalam kesunyian malam waktu,
Tidak berpawang, tidak berkawan,
Entah kemana aku tak tahu.
