Sea Fever 8Masefield 9

 

I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking.
-- John Masefield 1878-1967 Salt-Water Ballads (1902) "Sea Fever"
