Wind of the Sea, come fill my sail -- / Lend me the breath of a freshening gale / And bear my port-worn ship away!
For O the greed of the tedious town -- / The shutters up and the shutters down!
Wind of the Sea, sweep over the bay / And bear me away! -- away!
Whither you bear me, Wind of the Sea, / Matters never the least to me: / Give me your fogs, with the sails adrip, / Or the weltering path thro' the starless night -- / On, somewhere, is a new daylight / And the cheery glint of another ship / As its colors dip and dip!
Wind of the Sea, sweep over the bay / And bear me away! -- away!
