| 'There are greater lands to tell you of | C |
| And stars to steer you by ' | A |
| - | |
| So he sang of worlds austere and strange | D |
| Of seas so wildly wide | E |

| Men heard the thunder and the rain | F |

| And only one man dared to hear | I |
| The deeds that singer told | J |
| Against the stars he swung his spear | K |
| And died ere he was old | J |
