I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a, star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a gray mist on the sea's face and a gray dawn breaking.
-- John Masefield, Sea Fever, first stanza.
