First Line: From an island of the sea
Last Line: Come, come away!'
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter
From an island of the sea
Sounds a voice that summons me, --
'Turn thy prow, sailor, come
With the wind home!'
Sweet o'er the rainbow foam,
Sweet in the treetops, 'Come,
Coral, cliff, and watery sand,
Sea-wave to land!
'Droop not thy lids at night,
Furl not thy sails from flight!. . .'
Cease, cease, above the wave,
Deep as the grave!
O, what voice of the salt sea
Calls me so insistently?
Echoes, echoes, night and day, --
'Come, come away!'
