O billows bounding far
escrito por Alfred Edward Housman
1997. Link to further information



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.
