Which two lines in the poem help the reader determine the theme? A Life on the Ocean Wave
by Epes Sargent
A life on the ocean wave,
A home on the rolling deep,
Where the scattered waters rave,
And the winds their revels keep!
5 Like an eagle caged, Ipine
On this dull, unchanging shore:
Ohl give me the flashing brine,
The spray and the tempest's roar!
Once more on the deck I stand
10 of my own swift-gliding craft:
Set saill farewell to the land!
The gale follows fair abatt.
We shoot through the sparkling foam
Like an ocean-bird set free
15 Like the ocean-bird, our home
We'll find far out on the sea
The land is no longer in view,
The clouds have begun to frown:
But with a stout vessel and crew
20 we’ll say let the storm come down and song of our hearts shall be while the winds and the waters rave, a home on the rolling seal a life on the ocean wave
