A Sea Symphony: III. Scherzo - The Waves (Allegro brillante)

After the sea-ships, after the whistling winds, after the white-gray sails taut to their spars and ropes.

Below a myriad, myriad waves hastening

After the sea-ship

After the whistling winds

Below a myriad, myriad waves hastening

lifting up their necks,

Tending in ceaseless flow toward the track of the ship

After the sea ship

After the whistling winds

Waves of the ocean bubbling and gurgling, blithely prying

Waves, undulating waves

Liquid, uneven, emulous waves

Toward that whirling current

laughing and buoyant with curves

Where the great vessels sailing and tacking displaced the surface,

Larger and smaller waves in the spread of the ocean

yearnfully flowing

The wake of the sea-ship

after she passes

Flashing and frolicsome under the sun

A motley procession

with many a fleck of foam and many fragments

After the sea-ship, after the whistling winds

A motley procession

with many a fleck of foam and many fragments

After the sea-ship, after the whistling winds

After the white-gray sails taut to their spars and ropes

Below a myriad, myriad waves hastening

lifting up their necks

in the wake

following

a motley procession with many a fleck of foam and many fragments

in wake following
