Secured by a strong cord
Lord or so he thought of the waves, he saw
or heard wonders of the sea
free or so he thought to sing
loudly half a dream half time-filled
thrilled to spray, to sea-swell
Hell was a deep and lost below
though he had no good ground
found sudden fear,
"Where is it now?" "Not here?"
Fear filled him, broke a sudden wave
"Save me!" he cried, "I'm too far out,
about my waist I feel no link.
think.." he tried to think, "It can't be so,
No!" but only cold blind hunger from the deep
Sleep and Panic smelled to things below,
"No!" but no boat was seen, no cord around, no light
Sightless now the sea only sea-swell
Tell them deep below nourishment
Heaving is something from below
"No! no! It cannot be!"
Se him struggle, see him leaving, see him go
Below the waves, into the brink
Sink suck below
