The sea awoke at midnight from its sleep,
And round the pebbly beaches far and wide
I heard the first wave of the rising tide
Rush onward with uninterrupted sweep;
A voice out of the silence of the deep,
A sound mysteriously multiplied
As of a cataract from the mountain's side,
Or roar of winds upon a wooded steep.
So comes to us at times, from the unknown
And inaccessible solitudes of being,
The rushing of the sea-tides of the soul;
And inspirations, that we deem our own,
Are some divine foreshadowing and foreseeing
Of things beyond our reason or control.
H. W. Longfellow, "The sound of the sea".

"Singing to an ocean,
I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, play for me
and play a whole lot more, more!
Singing about good things
and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing on the mountains,
has the ocean lost it's way."
"The Ocean" by Led Zeppelin
My word is arygiele, which makes no sense, but looks like Argyle. Hey, who took my socks? :-D
Great song.
