But, Oh, beyond the two of them,

Beyond the height and blue of them,

I'm looking for the sea.

A blue sea—a crooning sea—

A grey sea lashed with foam—

But, Oh, to take the drift of it,

To know the surge and lift of it,

And 'tis I am longing for it as the homeless long for home.

I never dream at night-time

Or close my eyes by day,
