2. Read the extract of the poem
and answer the questions that follow:
I must go down to the seas again,

star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick in the wind’s
song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face and a grey
dawn breaking;
I must go down to the seas again,
for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not
be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with
the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and
the sea gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the
vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where
the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is merry yarn from a laughing
fellow rover
And quiet sleep and sweet dream when the long
