The SILENT SHIP

When the weigh anchor day comes from time
A ship, goes to unknown, departs from this port.
Take the road quietly as there are no passengers;
Netiher a handkerchief nor an arm is waving at that departure.

The passengers who are left behind are sorrowful,
For days, looking to black horizon with eyes which are damp.
Despair! This is neither the last ship that departs,
Nor last mourning of sorrow life.
Beloved and loved one wait for futile in this world.
Not knowing that the passengers (beloved) will not return.
Each of are satisfied with their new destinations.
Although many years passed; no one returned back from this voyage.

Yahya Kemal BEYATLI

SESSİZ GEMİ

Artık demir almak günü gelmişse zamandan,
Meçhule giden bir gemi kalkar bu limandan.
Hiç yolcusu yokmuş gibi sessizce alır yol;
Sallanmaz o kalkışta ne mendil ne de bir kol.

Rıhtımda kalanlar bu seyahatten elemli,
Günlerce siyah ufka bakar, gözleri nemli.
Biçare gönüller! Ne giden son gemidir bu!
Hicranlı hayatın ne de son matemidir bu!
Dünyada sevilmiş ve seven, nafile bekler;
Bilmez ki giden sevgililer dönmeyecekler.
Birçok gidenin her biri memnun ki yerinden,
Birçok seneler geçti; dönen yok seferinden.

Hi @steemcleaners,

I do not know how you consider that it is a plagiarism but this is not a plagiarism. We wrote the name of the owner of the poem. We do not need to take this poem from internet sites, we can take it from a book or anywhere we can find it. Also we know this poem due to its popularity. If we do not write the name of the writer, you are right but if we wrote his name this is not a plagiarism. We are scientists and we know how to use reference link.

Please can you fix this problem?

Thanks in advance,
@onderakcaalan
