ALL four of us were inland born	A
And inland reared from birth were we	B
And though the tale be food for scorn	A
We four had never seen the Sea	B
We saw the sun by day by night	C
The stars threw down their radiance keen	D
These things were held a goodly sight	C
But still the Sea remained unseen	D
The sunlit plains about us spread	E
Mile after mile on every side	F
But still the sea wise people said	E
The blue salt waste was wondrous wide	F
On lonely rides and desert tramps	G
And when we searched in rain and dew	H
The breathing dark of cattle camps	I
A longing came and thrilled us through	H
We dreamt of waters spreading far	J
Of winding bay and shining reach	K
Of shouting reef and growling bar	J
And breakers crashing down a beach	K
The longing grew we could not rest	L
A vision beautiful and brave	M
Allured us to a mighty quest	L
Of rolling sea and crested wave	M
All four of us were inland born	A
And inland reared from birth were we	B
We mounted early in the morn	A
And riding gaily sought the Sea	B
We rode by day and camped by night	C
And night and day dreamed evermore	N
Of dawns that broke in rosy light	C
On curling wave and crescent shore	N
The red sun sank upon our quest	L
The shadows fell and in the dark	O
There was no light in East or West	L
Save where our camp fire burned a spark	O
At times it seemed that we could hear	P
The sound of breakers in their fall	Q
We drew our reins and hand to ear	P
We listened to the distant call	Q
A stillness reigned from East to West	L
The trees and mountains seemed to swoon	R
And weirdly paling in the West	L
Went down a late and lonely moon	R
And while the white moon slowly fell	S
A scented breeze of morning blew	H
Though inland born we knew it well	S
That odour keen and strange and new	H
Then something seemed to burst its chains	T
A wave of joy and wonder broke	U
Across our souls and in our veins	T
An ancient Viking stirred and woke	U
A sound of breakers came to stir	V
Our blood and thrill us with delight	C
And neck and neck with whip and spur	V
We galloped headlong through the night	C
The moon had sunk but in the sky	W
We saw the Dawn's first light of grey	X
And straight as feathered arrows fly	W
We thundered on to meet the Day	X
Afar we saw the shore line loom	Y
Our horses springing freely strode	Z
And suddenly in purple gloom	Y
The sea gave greeting as we rode	Z
We galloped on nor ever ceased	A2
Till gloriously in golden fire	V
The sun uprose and in the East	A2
We reached the goal of our desire	V
We pushed our horses through the foam	B2
The breakers swirled about their knees	C2
And underneath the golden dome	B2
We shouted to the Morning Seas	C2
