Broken spars on lighted shore
Bones of ship keep them alive
Dead hulk out of Ædger
cannibalized by its children
Long had they rode the sea
They, of the North
The end comes now
Huddled together, sharing light
And warmth, and strength
On a spat of sea-dust
Below the cliffs of Brittany
Bodies flung together by fate and by wave,
Waiting for an end
Bones of ship keep them alive
Dead hulk out of Ædger
cannibalized by its children
Long had they rode the sea
They, of the North
The end comes now
Huddled together, sharing light
And warmth, and strength
On a spat of sea-dust
Below the cliffs of Brittany
Bodies flung together by fate and by wave,
Waiting for an end
