Wainamoinen, ancient minstrel, / The eternal wisdom-singer, / For his boat was working lumber, / Working long upon his vessel, / On a fog-point jutting seaward, / On an island, forest-covered;
But the lumber failed the master, / Beams were wanting for his vessel, / Beams and scantling, ribs and flooring.
