You pick it up, what do you hear? It may not always be the sound of the ocean.

I think I would hear that still small voice that whispers to me "Just one more day....!"

"The Sea is Calling Me Home...."

The wanderer



Upon a mountain height, far from the sea,

I found a shell,

And to my listening ear the lonely thing

Ever a song of ocean seemed to sing,

Ever a tale of ocean seemed to tell.

How came the shell upon that mountain height?

Ah, who can say

Whether they're dropped by some too careless hands,

Or whether they're cast when Ocean swept the Land,

Ere the Eternal had ordained the Day?

Strange, was it not? Far from its native deep,

One song it sang,--

Sang of the awful mysteries of the tide,

Sang of the misty sea, profound and wide,--

Ever with echoes of the ocean rang.

And as the shell upon the mountain height

Sings of the sea,

So do I ever, leagues and leagues away,--

So do I ever, wandering where I may,--

Sing, O my home! sing, O my home! of thee.

Eugene Field c1883

Oh, that is a beautiful poem.

I'd pick it up and say "can you hear me now??"





I'm a dork...

my luck I would hear

"one moment please" and then some annoying elevator music
