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!
