Explore "The Sea Gypsy" by Bliss Carman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I am fevered with the sunset, / I am fretful with the bay, / For the wander-thirst is on me / And my soul is in Cathay.
There's a schooner in the offing, / With her topsails shot with fire, / And my heart has gone aboard her / For the Islands of Desire.
I must forth again to-morrow! / With the sunset I must be / Hull down on the trail of rapture / In the wonder of the sea.
