8. READ ME
Rise, brothers, rise, the wakening skies pray to the morning
light,
The wind lies asleep in the arms of the draw like a child that
has cried all night
Come, Let us gather our nets from the shore, and
Set our catamarans free,
To capture the leaping wealth of the tide, for
We are the sons of the seal.
No longer delay, let us hasten away in the track of the
seagull’s call
The sea is our mother, the cloud is our brother, the waves are
our comrades all

9. What though we toss at the fall of the sun where
The hard of the sea-god drives?
He who holds the storm by the hair, will hide in
his breast our lives.
Sweet is the shade of the coconut glade and the
silent of the mango grove,
And sweet are the sands at the full o’ the moon with the
sound of the voices we love.
But sweeter, O brothers, the kiss of the spray
and the dance of the wild foam’s glee;
Row,brothers,row to the blue of the verge, where
the low sky mates with the sea
