Into the soothing substance of this sea!...

Oh, for the joy of absolute abandon

To the caressing furore of this sea;

The frantic joy of breaking all restrictions,

Of daring all the dangers of this sea!

The ecstatic and the harrowing sensation

Of rising, ever rising on a wave,

A giant wave that rises, ever rises,

And then to be replunged into the deep!

The all-absorbing, all-inclusive deep.
