"The Tale of the ship Golden crown"
A Poem by Dingeye

Oh here is the story,
of a ship that went down,
and all of its crew was killed...
It started out a nice trip,
the weather was good,
but at midnight,
when they were all sleeping,
a squall suddenly apeared.
they manned there positions,
and valiantly fought,
but it was to be all in vain.
It went on all night,
and the next day too,
so that daylight looked like night.
When they were all weary,
some abandoned the ship,
only to die in the waves,
they held for long,but to no avail,
and were forever lost.

All were killed,
and the captain went down,
the tale of the ship golden crown,
has been lost forever since...
until tonight,in this light
I have told you thus!
now I must go,
to watch the tides go,
and see the wreck of the ship!
