jellyfish poem in movie


I've been looking all over for the English translation of the poem that's read in the movie. Does anybody happen to have that?

Many thanks.

This is just a translation I got off the subtitles:

A ship inside a bottle cannot sink,
or collect dust.
It's nice to look at
and floats on glass.
No one is small enough to board it.
It doesn't know where it's heading.
The wind outside won't blow its sails.
It has no sails,
only a slip, a dress.
And beneath them, jellyfish.

Her mouth is dry, though she's surrounded by water.
She drinks it through the openings in her eyes
which never close.
When she dies, it won't be noticeable.
She won't crash on rocks.
She will remain tall and proud.

This is the translation I got off the screen as well. Was there another poem in the film?
