THE NORTHERN SEAS
Up! Up! Let us a voyage take;
Why sit we here at ease?
Find us a vessel tight and snug
Bound for the Northern seas.
…
I long to see the Northern Lights
With their rushing splendors fly,
Like living things with flaming wings,
Wide over the wondrous sky.
…
I long to see those icebergs vast,
With heads all crowned with snow,
Whose green roots sleep in the awful deep
Two hundred fathoms low.
…
I long to hear the thundering crash
Of their terrific fall,
And the echoes from a thousand cliffs
Like lonely voices call.
