| | From “Songs of the Coast-dwellers”
HERE’S good wind, here’s sweet wind, | |
| Here’s good wind and my woman calls me! | |
| Straight she stands there by the pine-tree, | |
| Faithful waits she by the cedar, | |
| She will smile and reach her hands | 5 |
| When she sees my thousand salmon! | |
| Here’s good wind and my woman calls me. | |
| |
| Here’s clear water, here’s swift water, | |
| Here’s bright water and my woman waits me! | |
| She will call me from the sea’s mouth— | 10 |
| Sweet her pine-bed when the morning | |
| Lights my canoe and the river ends! | |
| Here’s good wind, here’s swift water, | |
| Strong as love when my woman calls me! | | | | |
