THE SEA GIPSY

I am fevered with the sunset,

I am fretful with the bay,

For the wander-thirst is on me

And my soul is in Cathy.

…

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 tomorrow!

With the sunset I must be

Hull down on the trail of rapture

In the wonder of the sea.
