ECHOES: 24 by WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE FULL SEA ROLLS AND THUNDERS
Last Line: I'LL RANGE FOR EVERMORE.

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.
