+===== Sea-Fever =====
+By [[https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/john-masefield|John Masefield]]
+<WRAP indent>
+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 grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
+<font inherit/inherit;;#ffffff;;inherit>.</font>
+I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
+Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
+And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
+And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
+<font inherit/inherit;;#ffffff;;inherit>.</font>
+I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
+To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
+And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
+And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
