To Sail Forbidden Seas

Eurus, Caecias, Thrascias, Zephyrus
Meses, Notos, Lips, Apheliotes

Oceanus!
Tempest neverending
O Tartarus!
Drowning, underneath the waves!

Cloud and squall and gale and hurricane
Drown in darkness, ne'er to breathe again

Douse the sails, batten down!
See the waves, feel the wind rising!
Strike the spars, go below!
Descend!

Fork-flamed fire, thunder-cloven
Mountains climb, voids for vales
Hither, yon, tossed over and under
Cling to the key till the tides turn!

Running onward, all together now!
Sweep the stormclouds from your blackened brow!
Fall to, yarely! Heigh, hearts, cheerily!
Dance, white water, and sing, skies!
Burst your wind with us!
