In the beginning was the Word,
The Word of bitter grief and pang...
Thereafter was the islands’ birth,
And they abandoned the mainland.

They’ve traveled about with no freight
Through many thousands of miles and years,
And each of them has changed its face,
But kept the law and honor of the Earth.

In the beginning was the Word,
The Word of bitter grief and pang...
Thereafter was the sailors’ birth,
And they abandoned the mainland.

The shore has holden them tight and safe,
And they’ll for certain come back to the Earth:
They have been in a special state,
They’ve kept the law and honor of the Earth.

My stand in science is unheard,
But known to the common people:
In the beginning of this world
There was no other word than “sea”!
