Translations: If my voice dies on land

Autor del poema: Rafael Alberti, 1924 Translation by Mark Strand
If my voice dies on land, 6
take it down to the sea 7
and leave it on the shore. 8
Take it down to the sea 7
and make it captain 6
of a white man-of-war. 7
Honor it with 4
a sailor’s medal: 5
over its heart an anchor, 7
and on the anchor a star, 7
and on the star the wind, 6
and on the wind a sail! 6
