Sea Fever
by John Masefield

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
The “vagrant gypsy life,” “the gull’s way,” and “the whale’s way” are alike in that each

A.
lives life upon the sea
B.
keeps moving from place to place
C.
is land bound
D.
is hunted by sailors
