seagypsy

I am fevered with the sunset
I am fretful with the bay
For the wander-thirst is on me
And my soul is in Cathay

There's a schooner in the offing
With her topsails shot with fire
And my heart has gone aboard her
for the Islands of desire.

I must forth again to-morrow!
With the sunset I must be
Hull down on the trail of rapture
In the wonder of the sea.
