Please give me the translation of moonlight on manila bay by fernando maramag

Answer 1

Moonlight on Manila Bay

Fernando M. Maramag

A light serene, ethereal glory rests

Its beams effulgent on each cresting wave;

The silver touches of the moonlight wave

The deep bare bosom that the breeze molests;

While lingering whispers deepen as the wavy crests

Roll with weird rhythm, now g*y, now gently grave;

And floods of lambent light appear the sea to pave-

All cast a spell that heeds not time’s behests.

Not always such the scene: the din of fight

Has swelled the murmur of the peaceful air;

Here East and West have oft displayed their might;

Dark battle clouds have dimmed this scene so fair;

Here bold Olympia, one historic night,

Presaging freedom, claimed a people’s care.

Answer 2

Fernando Maramag's Moonlight on Manila Bay describes the Philippines ('the scene so fair') as a picturesque country before the intrusion of America ("bold Olympia').
