The inland is not safe from sea;

here where the meadows hold the day

and tongues are of the earth, the fields,

the sea-mind still is safe and free.

Perhaps it walks a little worn

between the elm and peakéd pine

or wakens restless to the sounds

of vigorous, healthy, country morn,

or finds the nights too long, too still,

lacking the rush and draw of wave,

or feels the eye cheated by the dark,

the sharp sky-crowding rise of hill.

But yet the wind of sea will run

the length of valleys and be here

sudden and full of space and wide

waters all leaping with the sun.
