THE CALL O' THE SEA
OH, the call o' the sea!
Into the night comes its throb Deep in my heart with a sob,
The call o' the sea.
For it beats like the western rain, And it sings with a ceaseless refrain
The wild songs of my boyhood again The call o' the sea.
Oh, the call o' the sea Haunts me when dawn cometh dim
Over the hill's jagged rim The call o' the sea.
Up from the darkness it hails
To tell of the untrodden trails
With its plaint of tides and of gales, The call o' the sea.
Oh, the call o' the sea
Brings me from shores that are far
Plashing of waves on a bar,
The call o' the sea. Vision of lights in the West, Billows with foam on each crest, Girding the Isles of the Blest
With the call o' the sea.
DANIEL SHIELDS.
