John Masefield - Sea Change
Work rating: Low

"Goneys an` gullies an` all o` the birds o` the sea
    They ain`t no birds, not really", said Billy the Dane.
 "Not mollies, nor gullies, nor goneys at all", said he,
    "But simply the spirits of mariners livin` again."

 "Them birds goin` fishin` is nothin` but the souls o` the drowned,
    Souls o` the drowned, an` the kicked as are never no more
 An` that there haughty old albatross cruisin` around,
    Belike he`s Admiral Nelson or Admiral Noah."

 "An` merry`s the life they are living. They settle and dip,
    They fishes, they never stands watches, they waggle their wings;
 When a ship comes by, they fly to look at the ship
    To see how the nowaday mariners manages things."

 "When freezing aloft in a snorter I tell you I wish —
    (Though maybe it ain`t like a Christian) — I wish I could be
 A haughty old copper-bound albatross dipping for fish
    And coming the proud over all o` the birds o` the sea."
