Have you ever heard or read the following sentence?:
"And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by"
I've heard in several films and read in parts, by usually in quotes. After searching a bit, I found that prayer is a poem "Sea Fever" I put below: I Must
down to the seas again, to the lonely and the sky is,
And all I ask is to 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 gray mist
on the sea's face, and a gray dawn breaking. Must Idown to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call
and a clear call That May Not Be Denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the
flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.I Must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way Where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream When the long trick's over.
When I first heard, I thought it was a quote from Tolkien do not know why but I imagined a Númenórean making a request to the Valar. You have some epic it is.
