Lucy Maud Montgomery - Song of the Sea-WindLucy Maud Montgomery - Song of the Sea-Wind
Work rating: Low


When the sun sets over the long blue wave  I spring from my couch of rest, And I hurtle and boom over leagues of foam  That toss in the weltering west, I pipe a hymn to the headlands high,  My comrades forevermore, And I chase the tricksy curls of foam  O`er the glimmering sandy shore. The moon is my friend on clear, white nights  When I ripple her silver way, And whistle blithely about the rocks  Like an elfin thing at play; But anon I ravin with cloud and mist  And wail `neath a curdled sky, When the reef snarls yon like a questing beast,  And the frightened ships go by. I scatter the dawn across the sea  Like wine of amber flung From a crystal goblet all far and fine  Where the morning star is hung; I blow from east and I blow from west  Wherever my longing be- The wind of the land is a hindered thing  But the ocean wind is free!
