to sea to sea the calm is o'er
the wanton water leaps in sport
and rattles down the pebbly shore
the dolphin wheels the sea-cows snort
and unseen mermaids' pearly song
comes bubbling up the weeds among
fling broad the sail dip deep the oar
to sea to sea the calm is o'er
to sea to sea our wide-winged bark
shall billowy cleave its sunny way
