WIND AND WAVE by CHARLES WARREN STODDARD

First Line: O, WHEN I HEAR AT SEA
Last Line: I HEARD FAR OUT AT SEA.

O, WHEN I hear at sea
The water on our lee,
I fancy that I hear the wind
That combs my hemlock tree:

But when beneath that tree
I listen eagerly,
I seem to hear the rushing wave
I heard far out at sea.
