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.
