The wrecks are all thy deed; nor doth remain

A shadow of man's ravage; save his own;

When; for a moment; like a drop of rain;

He sinks into thy depths with bubbling groan;

Without a grave; unknelled; uncoffined; and unknown。



His steps are not upon thy paths; thy fields

Are not a spoil for him; … thou dost arise

And shake him from thee; the vile strength he wields

For earth's destruction thou dost all despise;

Spurning him from thy bosom to the skies;

And send'st him; shivering in thy playful spray

And howling; to his Gods; where haply lies

His petty hope in some near port or bay;

And dashest him again to earth: … there let him lay。



The armaments which thunderstrike the walls

Of rock…built cities; bidding nations quake

And monarchs tremble in their capitals;

The oak leviathans; whose huge ribs make

Their clay creator the vain title take

Of lord of thee and arbiter of war; …

These are thy toys; and; as the snowy flake;

They melt into thy yeast of waves; which mar

Alike the Armada's pride or spoils of Trafalgar。



Thy shores are empires; changed in all save thee; …

Assyria; Greece; Rome; Carthage; what are they?

Thy waters washed them power while they were free;

And many a tyrant since; their shores obey

The stranger; slave; or savage; their decay

Has dried up realms to deserts: … not so thou;

Unchangeable save to thy wild waves' play;

Time writes no wrinkle on thine azure brow;

Such as creation's dawn beheld; thou rollest now。



Thou glorious mirror; where the Almighty's form

Glasses itself in tempests; in all time;

Calm or convulsed; … in breeze; or gale; or storm;

Icing the pole; or in the torrid clime

Dark…heaving; … boundless; endless; and sublime; …

The image of Eternity; … the throne

Of the Invisible; even from out thy slime

The monsters of the deep are made; each zone

Obeys thee; thou goest forth; dread; fathomless; alone。



And I have loved thee; Ocean! and my joy

Of youthful sports was on thy breast to be

Borne; like thy bubbles; onward。  From a boy

I wantoned with thy breakers; … they to me

Were a delight; and if the freshening sea

Made them a terror; 'twas a pleasing fear;

For I was as it were a child of thee;

And trusted to thy billows far and near;

And laid my hand upon thy mane; … as I do here。



George Gordon Byron '1788…1824'





ON THE SEA



It keeps eternal whisperings around

Desolate shores; and with its mighty swell

Gluts twice ten thousand caverns; till the spell

Of Hecate leaves them their old shadowy sound。

Often 'tis in such gentle temper found;

That scarcely will the very smallest shell

Be moved for days from whence it sometime fell;

When last the winds of heaven were unbound。

Oh ye! who have your eye…balls vexed and tired;

Feast them upon the wideness of the Sea;

Oh ye! whose ears are dinned with uproar rude;

Or fed too much with cloying melody; …

Sit ye near some old cavern's mouth; and brood

Until ye start; as if the sea…nymphs quired!



John Keats '1795…1821'





〃WITH SHIPS THE SEA WAS SPRINKLED〃



With ships the sea was sprinkled far and nigh;

Like stars in heaven; and joyously it showed;

Some lying fast at anchor in the road;

Some veering up and down; one knew not why。

A goodly vessel did I then espy

Come like a giant from a haven broad;

And lustily along the bay she strode;

Her tackling rich; and of apparel high。

This ship was naught to me; nor I to her;

Yet I pursued her with a lover's look;

This ship to all the rest did I prefer:

When will she turn; and whither?  She will brook

No tarrying; where she comes the winds must stir:

On went she; … and due north her journey took。



William Wordsworth '1770…1850'





A SONG OF DESIRE



Thou dreamer with the million moods;

Of restless heart like me;

Lay thy white hands against my breast

And cool its pain; O Sea!



O wanderer of the unseen paths;

Restless of heart as I;


Blow hither; from thy caves of blue;

Wind of the healing sky!



O treader of the fiery way;

With passionate heart like mine;

Hold to my lips thy healthful cup

Brimmed with its blood…red wine!



O countless watchers of the night;

Of sleepless heart like me;

Pour your white beauty in my soul;

Till I grow calm as ye!



O sea; O sun; O wind and stars;

(O hungry heart that longs!)

Feed my starved lips with life; with love;

And touch my tongue with songs!



Frederic Lawrence Knowles '1869…1905'





THE PINES AND THE SEA



Beyond the low marsh…meadows and the beach;

Seen through the hoary trunks of windy pines;

The long blue level of the ocean shines。

The distant surf; with hoarse; complaining speech;

Out from its sandy barrier seems to reach;

And while the sun behind the woods declines;

The moaning sea with sighing boughs combines;

And waves and pines make answer; each to each。

O melancholy soul; whom far and near;

In life; faith; hope; the same sad undertone

Pursues from thought to thought! thou needs must hear

An old refrain; too much; too long thine own:

'Tis thy mortality infects thine ear;

The mournful strain was in thyself alone。



Christopher Pearse Cranch '1813…1892'





SEA FEVER



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 gray mist on the sea's face; and a gray 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 seagulls crying。



I must go down to the seas again; to the vagrant gipsy 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 '1878…





HASTINGS MILL



As I went down by Hastings Mill I lingered in my going

To smell the smell of piled…up deals and feel the salt wind blowing;

To hear the cables fret and creak and the ropes stir and sigh

(Shipmate; my shipmate!) as in days gone by。



As I went down by Hastings Mill I saw a ship there lying;

About her tawny yards the little clouds of sunset flying;

And half I took her for the ghost of one I used to know

(Shipmate; my shipmate!) many years ago。



As I went down by Hastings Mill I saw while I stood dreaming

The flicker of her riding light along the ripples streaming;

The bollards where we made her fast and the berth where she did lie

(Shipmate; my shipmate!) in the days gone by。



As I went down by Hastings Mill I heard a fellow singing;

Chipping off the deep sea rust above the tide a…swinging;

And well I knew the queer old tune and well the song he sung

(Shipmate; my shipmate!) when the world was young。



And past the rowdy Union Wharf; and by the still tide sleeping;

To a randy dandy deep sea tune my heart in time was keeping;

To the thin far sound of a shadowy watch a…hauling;

And the voice of one I knew across the high tide calling

(Shipmate; my shipmate!) and the late dusk falling!



Cecily Fox…Smith '1882…





〃A WET SHEET AND A FLOWING SEA〃



A wet sheet and a flowing sea;

A wind that follows fast;

And fills the white and rustling sail;

And bends the gallant mast;

And bends the gallant mast; my boys;

While; like the eagle free;

Away the good ship flies; and leaves

Old England on the lee。



O for a soft and gentle wind!

I heard a fair one cry;

But give to me the snoring breeze

And white waves heaving high;

And white waves heaving high; my boys;

The good ship tight and free …

The world of waters is our home;

And merry men are we。



There's tempest in yon horned moon;

And lightning in yon cloud;

And hark the music; mariners!

The wind is piping loud;

The wind is piping loud; my boys;

The lightning flashes free …

While the hollow oak our palace is;

Our heritage the sea。



Allan Cunningham '1784…1842'





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; O; 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 goeth the world below;

And why the sou'west blasts do blow。



I never was on the dull; tame shore;

But I loved the great sea more and more。

And backwards flew to her billowy breast;

Like a bird that seeketh its mother's nest;

And a mother she was; and is; to me;

For I was born on the open sea!



The waves were white; and red the morn;

In the noisy hour when I was born;

And the whale it whistled; the porpoise rolled;

And the dolphins bared their backs of gold;

And never was heard such an outcry wild

As welcomed to life the ocean…child!



I've lived since then; in calm and strife;

Full fifty summers; a sailor's life;

With wealth to spend and a power to range;

But never have sought nor sighed for change;

And Death; whenever he comes to me;

Shall come on the wild; unbounded sea!



Bryan Waller Procter '1787…1874'





SAILOR'S SONG

From 〃Death's Jest…Book〃



To sea; to sea!  The calm is o'er;

The wanton water leaps in sport;

And rattles down the pebbly shore;

The dolphin wheels; the sea…cows snort;

And unseen mermaids' pearly song

Comes bubbli
