The Sea Calls Me -Rondelete

The sea calls me I hear its distant voice always The sea calls me Wherever I go I’m not free In my ears constant all my days Ever blessed or cursed there it stays The sea calls me In my mind’s eye I again see the unfurled sails In my mind’s eye In the wind flapping their loud cry Mate walking and checking the rails Now watching for threatening gales In my mind’s eye Waves by the boards Pitching, rolling going its way Waves by the boards A distant land now headed towards Perhaps to find a peaceful bay With calm waters and useful quay Waves by the boards
