WIND of the Sea, come fill my sail -- Lend me the breath of a freshening gale And bear my port-worn ship away! For O the greed of the tedious town -- The shutters up and the shutters down! Wind of the Sea, sweep over the bay And bear me away! -- away! Whither you bear me, Wind of the Sea, Matters never the least to me: Give me your fogs, with the sails adrip, Or the weltering path thro' the starless night -- On, somewhere, is a new daylight And the cheery glint of another ship As its colors dip and dip! Wind of the Sea, sweep over the bay And bear me away! -- away! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LETTER; EDWARD ROWLAND SILL, DIED FEBRUARY 27, 1887 by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH INTIMATE VISION by JOSEPHINE BATES THE STUDY by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THE CONSOLATION by ANNE BRONTE THE WANDERER: 2.
