Sea fever…

Email: Dad’s 70th birthday. Loves the sea, teaches literature. (Canada)

Happy Birthday!

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, 
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, 
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, 
And a grey mist on the sea’s face and a grey dawn breaking. 

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide,
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied,
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, 
And the flung spray and the blown spume and the sea-gulls crying. 

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, 
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, where the wind’s like a whetted knife,
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, 
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

—John Masefield

A nature poem…

I wandered lonely as a cloud – William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud,
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine,
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line,
Along the margin of a bay,
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced but they,
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee,
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company,
I gazed and gazed but little thought,
What wealth the show to me had brought?

For oft when on my couch I lie,
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye,
Which is the bliss of solitude.
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils!
