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. In Hospital. 8. Staff-Nurse: Old Style
2. In Hospital. 26. Anterotics
3. Echoes. 20. The Surges Gushed and Sounded
4. Echoes. 30. Kate-a-Whimsies, John-a-Dreams
5. Echoes. 44. If It Should Come to Be
