By the Sea (Tune by Hwethlenn)



A song that Hwethlenn began when she came to walk along the shore of the Belfalas.
She wrote it down and added it to the library of the Loth-i-Lonnath.


By the sea
Where the wind crowns the waves with foam
By the sea
Where we are at home
Lies the land through which we strayed
Lies the land of which we're made
By the sea
Where the winds will never fade

Your sea's proud waves
Sung my cradle song
And where my bare feet touched the sand
Vast skies, great freedom
Endless far your horizon
Ever bound to you, magnificent land

By the sea
Where the wind crowns the waves with foam
By the sea
Where we are at home
Lies the land through which we strayed
Lies the land of which we're made
By the sea
Where the winds will never fade

By the call of the sea-gulls
I recall my youngest years
Every dawn the fog would flee
No day I will forget
Tell of you around the world
Of my home-land here by the sea

By the sea
Where the wind crowns the waves with foam
By the sea
Where we are at home
Lies the land through which we strayed
Lies the land of which we're made
By the sea
Where the winds will never fade
