O hey for waves and the winds of June,
And the flight of the sea-bound wings,
The dip and the lift of a spray-dashed keel,
And the songs that a white sail sings!
Then onward and outward and far away,
With the rush of the parted seas,
The tingling shower of the flying spray,
And the sweep of a seaward breeze.
Then O for the joy of the sea in June,
And the flight of the strong white wings,
The dip and the lift of a spray-drenched keel,
And the songs that salt wind sings!
