Sea Fever,
By annesailorgirl "annesailorgirl" (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Poems of the Sea (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets) (Hardcover)
This book holds some of the best-loved ocean and water poems of all time, including all 3 verses of my absolute favorite poem by John Masefield, Sea Fever.
Oh I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by And the wheel's kick and the wind's song, and the white sail's shaking And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking . . . The book's main sections are: Sea Fever, The Call of the Deep Storm and Call Ballads Songs and Chanteys Anthem Prayer and Hymn Seafarers Wrecks at Sea Legends Above and Beyond Reading the Waves. Authors include of course John Masefield, but also Robert Frost, Tennyson, Emily Dickinson, TS Eliot, DH Lawrence, John Milton, John Keats, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Edgar Allan Poe, and Percy Shelley. There are also anonymous poems including Trafalgar, Davey Jones's Locker, Blow the Man Down, and Drunken Sailor. If you love the water and if you love books, you will love this little volume of poems. |
