O! To be By the sea, the sea! While a brave nor'wester's blowing, With a swirl on the lee, Of cloud-foam free, And a spring-tide deeply flowing! With the low moon red and large, O'er the flushed horizon's marge, And a little pink hand in mine, On the sands in the long moonshine! O! to be By the sea, the sea! With the wind full west and dying, With a single star O'er the misty bar, And the dim waves dreamily sighing! O! to be there, but there! With my sweet love nestling near! Near, near, till her heart-throbs blend with mine, Through the balmy hush of the night's decline, On the glimmering beach, in the soft star-shine! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BODY BREAKING by MARVIN BELL THE BOTTLES AND THE WINE by GEORGE SANTAYANA LEPANTO by GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON IRELAND (1847) by DENIS FLORENCE MCCARTHY LOCHABER NO MORE by ALLAN RAMSAY I CLEANED MY HOUSE TODAY by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON PSALM 64 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE |
