A must read for all sailors. This poem defines how we feel so perfectly. If you ARE a sailor please read Ode to Diana.

This has a serious misquote. All stanzas begin, 'I must down to the seas again.' There's no 'go.'

Listen to Masefield reciting it himself. He altered the text to include the word 'go.' As long as the three stanzas read the same, it makes no odds. Don't get hung up on it.

It reminds me of my boyhood and I can smell the sea and hear the gulls when I read it

'When World War I began, though old enough to be exempted from military service, Masefield joined the staff of a British hospital for French soldiers' from PH Bio

I don't believe I've EVER seen this (typed in RED) on a PH poem's page. At least I got to read the beginnings of the poem, which I first heard YEARS AGO. : )
