I follow the foaming seas.

Men come not nigh when they pass me by

For they fear me, every one,

As I cleave the gray of the dawning day

Or drowse in the summer sun.

Past unknown isles, for miles and miles

I wander away to where

The iceberg lifts and the salt spray drifts

In the freezing arctic air.

I steal by the bars when the flame-winged stars
