Longing For Another Barbarossa

by Yahya Kemal Beyatli

Whence on the sea's horizon comes that roar?

Can it be Barbarossa now returning
From Tunis or Algiers or from the Isles?
Two hundred vessels ride upon the waves,
Coming from lands the rising Crescent lights:
O blessed ships, from what seas are ye come?
