The Song of Sea

        
                        

by Henry　Wadsworth Longfellow

                        
                        
      The sea awoke at midnight from its sleep,
　　And round the pebbly beaches far and wide
　　I heard the first wave of the rising tide
　　Rush onward with uninterrupted sweep;
　　A voice out of the silence of the deep,
　　A sound mysteriously multiplied ,
　　As of a cataract from the mountain’s side,
　　Or roar of winds upon a wooded steep.
　　So comes to us at times, from the unknown
　　And inaccessible solitudes of being,
　　The rushing of the sea-tides of the soul;
　　And inspirations, that we deem our own,
　　Are some divine of foreshadowing and foreseeing
　　Of things beyond our reason or control.
