That if I would, <br />I would stand immortally at sea <br />Gazing for eternity at sea <br /> <br />The beauty struck sea <br />I’d set leave of quay <br />To immortally find way <br /> <br />Stand upon the ocean shore <br />Reverberating sea splashing at my feet <br />Shore washing sea, covering my feet <br /> <br />To close my eyes is to be at sea <br />This dream lasts all day to me <br />One day is like twenty years at sea <br /> <br />That if I would, <br />I would stand immortally at sea <br />Hoping for eternity at sea <br /> <br />Wonder covered sea <br />I would bless the shore <br />And leave to be once more <br /> <br />Out at sea to sail <br />And stand upon a ship and sway <br />Listen to the creak of the wood, and say <br /> <br />To close my eyes is to be at sea <br />A dream that lasts eternity <br />Eternity, guaranteed, to live <br /> <br />Would one day be eternity <br />I would spend it out at sea <br />Stand upon the ocean shore, foaming at my feet<br /><br />Annie Cordelia Adams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/b-eternity-at-sea-b/
