[The full sea rolls and thunders]
The full sea rolls and thunders
In glory and in glee.
O, bury me not in the senseless earth
But in the living sea!
In glory and in glee.
O, bury me not in the senseless earth
But in the living sea!
Ay, bury me where it surges
A thousand miles from shore,
And in its brotherly unrest
I 'll range for evermore.
A thousand miles from shore,
And in its brotherly unrest
I 'll range for evermore.
