A SEA SONG by CLINTON SCOLLARD

First Line: DOLPHINS UNDER AND SEA-GULLS OVER
Last Line: BACK TO THE HEART OF THE LONG DENIED!
Subject(s): SEA; SEA VOYAGES; SINGING & SINGERS; OCEAN;

DOLPHINS under and sea-gulls over
The surge and shift of the dipping tide,
And you, my rover, my blithe sea-rover,
Sailing the path of the undenied.

In dreams I follow you, oh, my rover,
Wide, for the ways of the sea are wide;
Come back, come back, when the voyage is over, --
Back to the heart of the long denied!
