SEA MAGIC, by TILLA BARBARA SPERRY

Subject(s): Sea; Ocean
First Line: I love the chant of the tossing sea
Last Line: As it spreads its earth-free wings.
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean
I love the chant of the tossing sea --
Weird song of the rippling swells;
That moan in cadence deep and low
Like tolling of chapel bells.
If I could stand on the brink of the sea
And fling my last deep breath
To the rhythmic gale that sweeps the wave
I would have no fear of death.
For the deathless sea rolls on and on,
While requiems soft it flings
To the heaven-bent soul, attuned to God,
As it spreads its earth-free wings.
