The Sea

"When I go down by the sandy shore

I can think of nothing I want more

Than to live by the booming sea

As the seagulls flutter round about me

I can run about--when the tide is out

With the wind

and the sand

and the sea all about

And the seagulls are swirling and diving for fish

Oh-to live by the sea is my only wish."

This little poem was written by Jacqueline Bouvier when she was ten years old.
