O billows bounding far
written by Alfred Edward Housman



Template:Copyvio <poem> O billows bounding far, How wet, how we ye are!

When first my gaze ye met I said "Those waves are wet."

I said it, and am quite Convinced that I was right.

Who saith that ye are dry? I give that man the lie.

Thy wetness, O thou sea, Is wonderful to me.

It agitates my heart, To think how wet thou art.

No object I have met Is more profoundly wet.

Methinks 'twere vain to try, O sea, to wipe thee dry.

I therefore will refrain. Farewell, thou humid main.
