    Related Poem Content Details

    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.
     
    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.
     
    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.

      It was between that poem and Requiem by Robert Louis Stevenson to read  when we scattered my fathers ashes.....he was an old navy man and loved the ocean...

       

      Under the wide and starry sky
      Dig the grave and let me lie.
      Glad did I live and gladly die,
      And I laid me down with a will.

      This be the verse you grave for me;
      "Here he lies where he longed to be,
      Home is the sailor, home from sea,
      And the hunter home from the hill."
