If Once You Have Slept
on an Island
Rachel Field, 1926, from TAXIS
AND TOADSTOOLS
If once you have slept on an
island
You'll never be
quite the same;
You may
look as you looked the day before
And go by the same old name,
You may bustle about in street
and shop;
You may sit at
home and sew,
But you'll
see blue water and wheeling gulls
Wherever your feet may go.
You may chat with the neighbors
of this and that
And
close to your fire keep,
But you'll hear ship whistle and lighthouse bell
And tides beat through your
sleep.
Oh, you won't know why, and you
can't say how
Such change
upon you came,
But --
once you have slept on an island
You'll never be quite the same.

Sea-Fever
I
must 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 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 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.
John Masefield 1878 - 1967 from "Salt Water Poems
and Ballads" |
