FOR YOUR EYES
SEA WIFE
Back to the sea .... a fair wind is blowing!
Back to your true first love, the sea!
To a life and time beyond my knowing,
Leaving the rain-drowned land to me.
You and your love are equally mated:
Savage and gay and volatile;
Winter-long she has lain unsated,
Now she will break you to her will.
And I shall hear, foi nights without number, f
Echoes of wanton, mocking glee; j
And 1 shall arise from chilly slumber,
Walk in the dawn.and ourse the sea.
