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
