Sea Fever

By: John Masefield

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;

And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,

And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking,

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,

And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

Understanding Sea Fever

and its artwork

Understanding the poem

Kenneth Young

Isaiah Walker

This poem is about a man sailing by himself on his boat on the seas. The seas are rough and windy. This man says he wants a big boat on the seas.

Sailing by: Thomas Eakins

Understanding the artwork

This painting shows the man on the seas. I can see why the poet said he wants a bigger boat so the stars can steer him. Also in the painting, you see that the seas are lonely.
