Give me the tiller! up with the sail!
Now let her swing to the breeze.
Out to sea with a dripping rail,
To sea, with a heart at ease!

Out of the Harbour! out of the Bay!
Out by the valiant Light!
Out by rocks where the young gulls lay —
And glad winds teach them flight!

Out of the Harbour! — Now let her leap!
Now let her dance the foam!
All life else is a narrow keep,
The sea alone is home!
