The Sea Gypsy
| I AM fevered with the sunset, | |
| I am fretful with the bay, | |
| For the wander-thirst is on me | |
| And my soul is in Cathay. | |
| There ’s a schooner in the offing, | 5 |
| With her topsails shot with fire, | |
| And my heart has gone aboard her | |
| For the Islands of Desire. | |
| I must forth again to-morrow! | |
| With the sunset I must be | 10 |
| Hull down on the trail of rapture | |
| In the wonder of the sea. |
