8. Coromandal Fishers
Rise ,brothers , rise ,the wakening skies pray to
the morning light,
The wind lies asleep in the arms of the dawn
like a child that has cried all night.
Come let us gather our nets from the shore , and
set our catamarans free,
To capture the leaping wealth of the tide , for
we are the sons of sea!
No longer delay , let us hasten away in the track
of the seagull’s call ,
The sea is our mother , the cloud is our brother ,
the waves are our comrades all.

9. What though we toss at the fall of the sun where
the hand of the sea god drives ?
He who holds the storm by the hair , will hide in
his breast our lives.
Sweet is the shade of the coconut glade ,and the
scent of the mango grove ,
And sweet are the sands at the full o’ the moon
with the sound of the voices we love.
But sweeter , O brothers , the kiss of the spray
and the dance of the wild foam’s glee ;
Row , brothers ,row to the blue of the verge , where
the low sky mates with the sea.
