Alliteration used in the poem "Sea Fever":
1. I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
2. And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
3. And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
5. And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
6. And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
7. To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
8. And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
