horrorfan [7]

Answer: Sky-by

Shaking-breaking

Explanation:

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;

And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,

And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking

—"Sea Fever,”

John Masefield
