Sea Fever by John Masefield
A speaker confesses an irresistible longing to return to the sea, evoking the sensory pleasures and freedoms of life aboard a ship—the tall mast and a guiding star, the kick of the wheel, wind and white sails, grey mist and dawn—driven by the wild, clear call of the tide that cannot be denied; embraces the roaming, gypsy-like existence among gulls and whales, the thrill of wind and spray, the companionship of shipmates and stories, and the simple reward of sleep and dreams after a long day at sea.
