From an island of the sea
Sounds a voice that summons me, —
"Turn thy prow, sailor, come
With the wind home!"
Sweet o'er the rainbow foam,
Sweet in the treetops, "Come,
Coral, cliff, and watery sand,
Sea-wave to land!
"Droop not thy lids at night.
Furl not thy sails from flight! . . .'
Cease, cease, above the wave,
Deep as the grave!
O, what voice of the salt sea
Calls me so insistently?
Echoes, echoes, night and day, —
"Come, come away!"
