Wind from the never-resting sea,
Lo, you have loosed the cords that bound us,
Lo, you have set our spirits free:
Free to take wings, like the sea-bird lonely
Beating hardily up the wind:
Fixed are his eyes on the waters only,
Never a glance for the land behind.
Wind of the darkness, breathing round us,
Wind from the never-resting sea.
Was it the old gods’ voice that found us
