Poems (Katz)/The ocean
THE OCEAN
I love to Steal from the city
And roam by the ocean's breast,
To watch it in all its varying moods
In its gorgeous changes drest.
And roam by the ocean's breast,
To watch it in all its varying moods
In its gorgeous changes drest.
O! I love it so,
Where the breezes blow soft and low—
And the clouds float by in the golden sky—
And the water sings a lullaby,
As the gulls skim over the crest and fly.
Where the breezes blow soft and low—
And the clouds float by in the golden sky—
And the water sings a lullaby,
As the gulls skim over the crest and fly.
Music sweet fills the air
And drives from my mind all care,
The silver moon rises o'er the water in all its purity—
God for all the world is surety.
And drives from my mind all care,
The silver moon rises o'er the water in all its purity—
God for all the world is surety.
