	WERE I THAT GULL. Were I that gull, Oh ! with what pleasure I'd northward cleave yon wintry sky; With what delight the leagues I'd measure The weary leagues that 'twixt us lie ; Through sleet, through hail, by icebergs gladly My keen grey way I'd gaily wing ; No blast could make my heart beat sadly; Still Hearing you, it could but sing. The wintry sun is coldly gleaming Along the wan seas' weary wastes ; It leads me on, still on, in seeming; North, ever north, my fancy hastes ; Winged by my heart, through day, through night, love, My thoughts speed on, with flight st;ll true, True as my heart, until they light, love, Upon your deck and home with you.
