Back from the sea, old foe of Nature! To the land lost one hundred and one years
ago. Across the strings they drew their bows. In the night of ice they raised them.
To arms with the wood glossed with sunrises they would not see by day or the sunsets
by night. To the bottom you go, old foe! And nevermore shall we hear your
sound. Again the strings shall ring!
