Ode to Augusta Wind
Surge forth, Augusta Wind
Fathom spirit blood-sworn
Resplendent soul tamer
Dancing Earth’s regal breath
Intrepid sea mistress
Shrewd maven fate abides
Safe-keeper, dream maker
Heart driven servant thine
Njord’s Blessing
Far from the distant shore
Njord’s breath feeds the serpent.
Hale sturdy sea titan
heartens the ship wielder,
marking fast the sail road
sleek and full of treasures.
Riches bestowed justly,
on the brave in his realm.
