The Sea Gypsy.

Topics: classic

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,     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     Hull down on the trail of rapture     In the wonder of the sea.
