My window opens upon the sea
And the smell of the sea
comes in to me -
And the voice of the sea
that calls and calls,
And the sea's hands beating
upon my walls.

Sometimes I wake
in the night and hear
The sound of the sea,
and it seems so near
That I wonder how
I have strength of will
To listen and listen
and lie so still.

 I wonder how
I can stay in bed
With a smoth'ring ceiling
over my head!
I envy the men
who can dip and ride
And drown, if they will,
in the brown, salt tide.

Oh why is a half-grown lad so free
To pack up his clothes
and put out to sea,
While a maid must live
out her life on shore
Mending and washing
and sweeping the floor?

Some moonless night,
when the sky is black,
I'll run away
and I'll never come back;
And maybe the girl
who used to be me
Will be far away,
like a lad, at sea!
