There is water between us
I will go down to this water
Now, when it is dark
And dive and pull and roll
Each lifting and then crashing wave
Each stroke rake through raging storm
Through Biscay, through Golden Coast
And on and on to round the Horn
Swim in thunder and blinding white
Swim with longing through the night
Swim through however many dawns
Till all natures forces come becalmed
Until I come to haboured beach
To stand again within your reach
As all the gods I have beseeched
Are there to answer all for each.
