A Wanderer's Song



"Oh I am sick of brick and stone, the heart of me is sick,
For windy green, unquiet sea, the realm of Moby Dick;
And I'll be going, going, from the roaring of the wheels,
For a wind's in the heart of me, a fire's in my heels."

-from "A Wanderer's Song" by John Masefield
Puget Sound on the Pacific Coast by Albert Bierstadt (1870)
