Sea Hunger

 I’VE languished¹ under many moons

And loved them all. Ah me!

But now my heart is filled too full

Of hunger for the sea.

When thinking of the white gulls²

That ride the creamy foam³,

I almost hear the brave winds

O’er singing seas at home.

And when I think of white mists

That rise from shore to shore,

In utter weariness I weep

But cannot see them more.

And some day when I leave my dreams

These tides in which I’ve striven,

I’ll lock their memories in my breast

And carry them to heaven.
