Jtrelesely roaming, glads0me, and fFes,
am hOaiing fosvver from shore 10 shosc,
Or laugh and leap In the Maslstrom's roar,
And dnsh sseuaA
With joyous hound;
Oh Who woald not bs
a wild wave Of the ssa?
II she frozen gnlfs Of the North hide,
Ard melt IN rilis from the Icci'erg's side,
Then ! bssk In The isorcslis' light,
Mid splendors sublime Of the Arctic night,
Or away 10 the Pole
] roll, roll
Ohl ! who would not b.
A wild wave of The ssaY
Thea warm Ia the blaze Of a tropic sun,
I'm the nowcry shores Of indostan,
And toss Ia showers Of gold and pcnrls,
A kiss The fair forms Of bathing girls,
Or break into billowa
For Mcrmsid's pillows:
Oh! Who would not he
A Wild wave Of the seal
Nov whiri In the Cyclones fearful path.
And strike strong ships In my stormy wrath,
Then swell In my pride, and rush, and rove,
AZ dash them down TO their ocean grave
SO ! lash and foam,
On my boundrss home
Uh who would not he
A Wild wave Of the seat
Then follow the fshcrman's tiny boat,
And play round his nets as they idly doat
Or gurglc, and ripple, and WOO him 10 rest
A. night, No sleep with . star - ny breast.
Or IN sunshine and cong
bear him along
oh who would not lie
a wild wave Of the sca
In the gulf streams dark blue waves | glide,
To the unknown source OF that wondrous tide,
Where that strange weed floats ish berries bright,
And the petrol rests In his boundlcss flight,
As he laves his wings.
And his storin-note rings.
Oh who would not he
wild ~are OF the sea-
Nov away from the land. i rush far cut,
In the foaniing track Of the water-spoui,
Then rage and roar. and sec,he, and hiss,
And leap till the very clouds kiss,
Or whirl and dance
In maniac'a trance;
Uh who would not be
wild wave Of the sea-
Then with deep strange music, hour by hour,
lash on the lonely lighthouse tower,
Or away on the csass In the surf and swell
can ring with my touch the lnch-Cape Bell,
On the rocks am beating.
And ever repeating
oh who would not be
A wild wave OF the sea-
Now sink far down TO those silcn, waves
That girdlc the Oceans glorious caves,
On golden sands, amids, gorgeous shells,
hear the strange tales that the cable tells,
Aud there sleep
In the faihoincss deep;
oh who would not 10
wild wave Of the sea!
That problem unsolvcd by mariners skin,
Or Icy ond those barriers of Ice gain
The "upen Sea- they have sought in vain,
Amid breakers roar.
on that silent shore
oh who would not be
wild wave Of the sea-
And of among the coral groves roam.
Where tho :" Ocean architect rcnrs its home,
Those tiny Insects whose works so grand,
Show skill unrisallcd by human hand
With my song awhile
Their toll beguile;
Oh who would not be
wild wave Of the sea,
Oh. children Of earth, you may envy me,
For more rich or happy no monarch could be,
With no cares, no earth forged feiiers bound,
am free to wandcrsihe wide world round,
So forever roll
From Pole TO Pole;
Oh who would not b
Wild ware Of the seaY
