When as a Lad
words by Isabel E. McKay

When as a lad at break of day
I watched the fishers sail away
My thoughts like flocking birds would follow
Acros the curving skies blue hollow
And on, and on, into the very heart of dawn
-------------------

DUNA

When I was a little lad
With folly on my lips,
Fain was I for journeying
All the seas in ships.
But now across the southern swell,
Every dawn I hear
The little streams of Duna
Running clear.

When I was a young man,
Before my beard was gray,
All to ships and sailormen
I gave my heart away.
But I'm weary of the sea-wind,
I'm weary of the foam,
And the little stars of Duna
Call me home.

The music follows
