II

Broad morning, blue morning, oh, jubilant wind!

Lord, Thou hast made our souls to be

Fluent and yearning long, as the sea

Yearns after the moon, and follows her,

With boon of waves and sibilant purr,

Round this world and past and o'er

All waste sea-bottoms and curving shore,

Only once more and again to find

The same sea-bottoms and beaten beach,

The same sweet moon beyond his reach

And drawing him onward as before.
