hey mate here is what u want

THE SEA! the sea! the open sea!

The blue, the fresh, the ever free!

Without a mark, without a bound,

It runneth the earth’s wide regions round;

It plays with the clouds; it mocks the skies; 5

Or like a cradled creature lies.

I ’m on the sea! I ’m on the sea!

I am where I would ever be;

With the blue above, and the blue below,

And silence wheresoe’er I go; 10

If a storm should come and awake the deep,

What matter? I shall ride and sleep.

I love, O, how I love to ride

On the fierce, foaming, bursting tide,

When every mad wave drowns the moon 15

Or whistles aloft his tempest tune,

And tells how goeth the world below,

And why the sou’west blasts do blow.

I never was on the dull, tame shore,

But I lov’d the great sea more and more, 20

And backwards flew to her billowy breast,

Like a bird that seeketh its mother’s nest;

And a mother she was, and is, to me;

For I was born on the open sea!

The waves were white, and red the morn, 25

In the noisy hour when I was born;

And the whale it whistled, the porpoise roll’d,

And the dolphins bared their backs of gold;

And never was heard such an outcry wild

As welcom’d to life the ocean-child! 30

I ’ve liv’d since then, in calm and strife,

Full fifty summers, a sailor’s life,

With wealth to spend and a power to range,

But never have sought nor sighed for change;

And Death, whenever he comes to me, 35

Shall come on the wild, unbounded sea!

Answer:

There are many exclamation marks in the poem. The speaker is excited. He or she has strong feelings on the subject that is described in the poem.

The author used lexical repetitions to emphasize a significant image; sea, i, and, to are repeated.

The poet used amphora at the beginnings of some neighboring lines. The same words the, it, i, and are repeated.

The author used the same word i at the beginnings of some neighboring stanzas. The figure of speech is a kind of amphora.

Include in your explanation of the poem:

  • summary of The Sea;
  • central theme;
  • idea of the verse;
  • history of its creation;
  • critical appreciation.
