    Between the two seas the sea-bird's wing makes halt,
    Wind-weary; while with lifting head he waits
    For breath to reinspire him from the gates
    That open still toward sunrise on the vault
    High-domed of morning.
    - Algernon Charles Swinburne,

Up and down! Up and down!
From the base of the wave to the billow's crown;
And read more

Up and down! Up and down!
From the base of the wave to the billow's crown;
And amidst the flashing and feathery foam
The Stormy Petrel finds a home,--
A home, if such a place may be,
For her who lives on the wide, wide sea,
On the craggy ice, in the frozen air,
And only seeketh her rocky lair
To warm her young and to teach them spring
At once o'er the waves on their stormy wing!
