Book Free DemoI 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;
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.
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
Explanation:
The line "I must go down to the seas again" is repeated thrice in the poem. It says that the speaker spent most of his time travelling on the sea. He can hear a continuous call from the sea. The call is a kind of emotional bonding between the sea and the speaker. On hearing that, the narrator feels that it is unavoidable and he must return to the sea.
Wild and clear call from the sea
