Does any one know who set it there, so high?

Some sailor-fisherman

Who lived in a little hut beside the rock.

The hut is gone, there are the bricks of its foundation,

The old, gray figurehead is left.

A carving crude yet noble,

Of silvery, weathered wood:

A hero-woman,

Large, simple, bold and calm.

One hand is on her breast, her throat curves proudly,
