I'm looking for the poem that I believe contains the line.."I must go down to the sea again. To the dark and lonely sea..." I cannot remember any of the rest. I thought it might be Mansfield, thoughunable to locate under such author.

Sea Feverby John MasefieldI must go down to the sea 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 tideIs a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;All I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the seagulls crying.I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,To the gull's way and the whale's way, where the wind's like a whetted knife;And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,And a quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trip's over.

Dear Julia H

I , indeed, have sweet dreams when the long trip was over. I will share pictures when Greg and Ramona forward their discs with me.

Unlike the woman who had two sons and one ran away to the sea and the other became vice president and neither one was heard of again-

I hope, God willing, to be heard from again-loud and clear-can you hear me now?
