I woke with my brethren

By the primeval water

In the morning of the world

No sun, no moon

Only starlight showed our way

And to stars I would forever look

For hope and guidance

Through the long ages

I have dwelt by the shore

Keeping the sea-road open

For my people to follow

To their forever home

Soon it will be my turn

To board the last ship

Set sail, and face

The undying west.
