To the Sea Lads

To the sea, I say, to the sea lads

Where the wind proclaims its might

And thunderous waves sculpt the shore

With fierce rhythmic delight.

To the sea, lads, to the sea I say

Where the seals claim their space,

And the mighty whales breach

With sensuous and timeless grace

To the sea we go with open arms

Where the veiled moon shimmers

And the distant fog horn moans

At the mettle of tireless fishers.

We go to the sea most gladly

In wonder and to quietly reflect

We go for rejuvenation

In awe and with solemn respect.

We go to the sea for adventure

We go to script new tales

We go where the wind would take us

Willingly with wide set sails.
