Leaving black terror,
Limitless night,
Nor God, nor man, nor place to stand
Would be to me essential,
If thou and thy white arms were there,
And the fall to doom a long way.

1. With eye and with gesture
2. The ocean said to me once
3. Tell brave deeds of war
4. There was a man who lived a life of fire
5. When the prophet, a complacent fat man
