Just my thoughts, just what I was thinking at the time...
The Sea(1)The Sea! the Sea! the open Sea!The blue, the fresh, the ever free! Without a mark, without a bound, It runneth the earth's wide regions 'round; It plays with the clouds; it mocks the skies; Or like a cradled creature lies. (2)I'm on the Sea! I'm on the Sea! I am where I would ever be; With the blue above, and the blue below, And silence wheresoe'er I go; If a storm should come and awake the deep,What matter? I shall ride and sleep.(3)I love (oh! how I love) to ride On the fierce foaming bursting tide,When every mad wave drowns the moon,Or whistles aloft his tempest tune, And tells how goes the world below, And why the south-west blasts do blow. (4)I never was on the dull tame shorebut I lov'd the great Sea more and more,And backwards flew to her billowy breast, Like a bird that seeketh its mother's nest; And mother she was, and is to me; For I was born on the open Sea! ~~~by cheap rs gold
I share my thoughts and would love to read your thoughts, too.
The Sea

The Sea! the Sea! the open Sea!
The blue, the fresh, the ever free!
Without a mark, without a bound,
It runneth the earth's wide regions 'round;
It plays with the clouds; it mocks the skies;
Or like a cradled creature lies.

I'm on the Sea! I'm on the Sea!
I am where I would ever be;
With the blue above, and the blue below,
And silence wheresoe'er I go;
If a storm should come and awake the deep,
What matter? I shall ride and sleep.

I love (oh! how I love) to ride
On the fierce foaming bursting tide,
When every mad wave drowns the moon,
Or whistles aloft his tempest tune,
And tells how goes the world below,
And why the south-west blasts do blow.

I never was on the dull tame shore
but I lov'd the great Sea more and more,
And backwards flew to her billowy breast,
Like a bird that seeketh its mother's nest;
And mother she was, and is to me;
For I was born on the open Sea!
