I am fevered with the sunset,
      I am fretful with the bay,
   For the wander-thirst is on me
      And my soul is in Cathay.

  There's a schooner in the offing,
   With her topsails shot with fire,
 And my heart has gone aboard her
      For the islands of Desire.

  I must forth again to-morrow!
   With the sunset I must be
 Hull down on the trail of rapture
   In the wonder of the sea.

   ~Richard Hovey (1864-1909)
