Bring her again, O western wind, Over the western sea: Gentle and good and fair and kind, Bring her again to me! Not that her fancy holds me dear, Not that a hope may be: Only that I may know her near, Wind of the western sea.

?. The full sea rolls and thunders [sung text not yet checked]
Language: English
The full sea rolls and thunders In glory and in glee. O, bury me not in the senseless earth But in the living sea! Ay, bury me where it surges A thousand miles from shore, And in its brotherly unrest I'll range for evermore.
