SRI LANKA - POETRY [ BY THE LATE SAM WAIDYASEKERA ]

The Sea Breeze




I saw the sea wide and free
Beneath the airy sky,
And wondered why it was not me
Who was standing by.


I watched the waves move to and fro
And dash at rocks at bay,
They would not budge but wanted more
Of splash of waters gay.


I felt the fan of stirring breeze
That hummed its way along,
And whistle past the greeny trees
It was a bracy morn !
