Sea-Fever
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.
from Sea-Fever by John Masefield
Where shall we adventure, to-day that we’re afloat, Wary of the
weather and steering by a star?Shall it be to Africa, a-steering of the boat, To Providence, or
Babylon, or off to Malabar?from Pirate Story by Robert Louis Stevenson
