Question

Select the correct text in the poem. 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, I pine On this dull, unchanging shore: Oh! 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 sail! farewell to the land! The gale follows fair abaft. 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 the song of our hearts shall be, While the winds and the waters rave, A home on the rolling sea! A life on the ocean wave!
