SEA FEVER JOHN MASEFIELD I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her byg And the Wheel's kick and the Wind's song and the White sails shaking, And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull's Way and the whale's way, Where the Wind's like a whetted knife 5 And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over. 3 --- 196 -
