I must go down to the sea again

By Spike Mulligan

I must go down to the sea again,
to the lonely sea and the sky;
I left my shoes and socks there

I wonder if they’re dry?

Gaily I lived

By René Francois Regnier

Gaily I lived as ease and nature taught,
And spent my little life without a thought,
And am amazed that Death, that tyrant grim,
Should think of me, who never thought of him.
