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.
