Look, the Sea!

William Zorach

LOOK, the sea—how it lifts me in its arms like a child!

Oh, how I love to ride on the white foam of the waves

And dive down into the deep bottom of the sea!

Look, the sun—how it burns me like a leaf!

Oh, how I love to bathe in the hot rays of the sun

And burn like a flame in the sands!

Look, the moon—how it rides me in sky!

Oh, how I love to sail on the shining edge of the clouds,

And sleep in the cool depths of the blue!
