This
ballad was written by Duluthian Gerry Ouelette
in 1987 as a gift to the
restoration project.
|
The Leif Erikson Whistling wind and surging sea the waters of the North Power penetrates through me like Viking songs of yore.
I Cry to the spirits of the wind and sky over me to guide my ship as we sail over the sea
Like Viking sailors before us who sailed east and west Crossing the sea in their tiny ships Defying the strong arm of death.
A thousand years ago Leif Erikson came to this land We remember his life with a Viking ship That sailed his course again
Resting now on the distant shore Neither dream nor memory fades Still the song of the Viking is sung In the wind rushing over the waves |
