The wind is rising on the sea,
White dance along the deep,
That moans as if uneasily
It turned in an unquiet sleep.
Ridge after rocky upheaves
A toppling crest that falls in spray
the tormented beach receives
The buffets of the sea’s wild play.
On the horizon’s nearing line,
Where sky rests, a visible wall.
Grey in the offing, divine
The sails that fly before the squall.
