Fierce dreams of something else!
        Frenzy to go away
(O wave in me that swells!)
        From life, where life must stay -
        Life ever at to‑day!

Some other place and thing!
        Not a life! not mine so!
O to be a wind, a wing.
A bark me there to bring!

        Whither? If I could know,
        I would not wish to go.
