In the poem ‘Sea Fever’ , the poet, John Masefield expresses his desire for sailing once again in the quiet sea, under the quiet sky. He expresses his desire for the need of a well-built ship to sail and a star in the dark sky to act as a guide. Soon the adventures would begin and as each day dawns, he wakes up to see the early grey mist rise from the sea. He wishes that there would be strong winds that would blow away the thick white clouds in the sky and take sail forward throughout the day. Watching from the shore, fills his heart with the adventure and spirit. The poet finally wishes to be a wandering gypsy.
He loves to share the tales and laughter with a fellow sailor. He wanted to sleep soundly with pleasant dreams at the end of his long shift on watch.
