Question

fever when he was 22.
click to listen to this part of the poem read aloud.
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 wheels kick and the winds song and the white sails shaking,
and a grey mist on the seas face, and a grey 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 sea-gulls crying.
i must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
to the gulls way and the whales way where the winds 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 tricks over.
