Once sailors brought back Tales of how they found a far land Where sculpted cliffs with old men's frowns Scowl down on black sand Where lightning walked And dark clouds thundered To wake the Kraken from its slumber At the far edge of the world There marbled waves would rear Before the shore like stallions To beach the bleachesd ribs And the carcass of lost galeons Where in her eyrie grinned The old crone Sewing shrouds for sailors white bones At the far edge of the world There did they know the Furies And their fearful four gales And when becalmed Poseidon's breath Would fill their tall sails And so on through uncharted waters Lured by the Siren and her daughters To the far edge of the world
