Poem by William Ernest Henley

Echoes. 24. The Full Sea Rolls and Thunders

The full sea rolls and thunders
   In glory and in glee.
O, bury me not in the senseless earth
   But in the living sea!

Ay, bury me where it surges
   A thousand miles from shore,
And in its brotherly unrest
   I’ll range for evermore.

1. Echoes. 23. The Skies Are Strown with Stars
2. Rhymes and Rhythms. Epilogue
3. Attadale, West Highlands
4. Echoes. 28. Blithe Dreams Arise to Greet Us
5. Echoes. 27. She Sauntered by the Swinging Seas
