First Line: O fierce and rushing sea! O clamorous wind!
Last Line: For me, for me alone is death's glad peace.
Subject(s): Sea; Wind; Ocean
OFIERCE and rushing sea! O clamorous wind!
Speak to my rebel heart, speak and be kind,
For I am near to thee by closest ties
Of kinship, and by love that never dies.
Give me, impetuous sea, thy wild strong heart!
Give me, O surging wind, thy furious art! --
Eternal warriors on the passionless sky,
Whom death dare touch not, nor decay come nigh.
And yet I know, O wind! O shuddering sea!
I have one boon which God denies to thee;
Ye must rage on eternally, nor cease,
For me, for me alone is death's glad peace.
