Does the poem "Sea Fever" by John Masefield suggest that people ever find the things they seek?"Sea Fever" by John Masefield

Now this is a fascinating issue to discuss in relation to
this poem. The first time I ever read this poem I had a very strong impression of an old
grizened sailor in some kind of retirement home left to dwell passionately on the
adventures that he had experienced in his life on the sea but also incredibly saddened
by the way that his declinining health meant that he was unable to ever sail again.
There is no evidence from the poem that points towards the speaker being viewed in this
way, but I felt (and still feel partly) that the desperate desire of the speaker to
return to the sea and the way that this desire is repeated throughout the poem, but with
no indication that this desire is ever met, strongly suggests that the "Sea Fever" that
dominates the speaker is not able to be satisfied, and the speaker is left by himself to
repeat the strong visual images he remembers of his life on the sea. He perhaps is
unable to realise that his desire will never be fulfilled due to his ailing condition,
which would add an element of pathos to the poem.

However,
whether or not you agree with my particular reading of the poem, it is clear in relation
to your question that whilst the intense desire to return to the sea is expressed
clearly, there is no indication anywhere in the poem that the speaker gets what he
wants, indicating that in spite of our fervent and passionate longings, we don't always
get what we want in life.
