The battle of the giants was raging
|
The Earth tried to free from the Ice
|
Who had taken her to his deadly embrace
|
And shunned her from all light
|
The Sun rose and set a million times
|
In the southern horizon
|
Before he felt pity for the Earth
|
Decided to save his beloved one
|
|
The warm rays of the Sun laid upon the Earth
|
Ice began to melt - waters flow
|
So withdrew the Ice northwards to a land
|
Where aurora borealis glow
|
In time were water dried
|
Still was the Earth desolate
|
No life, no growth but one tree
|
Suffering of Ice's winds' hate
|
|
Of the seeds of this lonely tree
|
Grew a forest and another and another
|
The landscape changed to blue and green
|
Lakes and forests became brothers
|
Although winters were cold
|
The land survived and filled with life
|
Wolves and bears wandered in woods
|
Not threatened by spear or knife
|
|
At a dawn on a hillside climbed a two-legged creature
|
Wrapped in a hide and carrying a sharpened bone
|
He watched the land and its beauty
|
This was going to be his home...
