I take pride n being able to present to ou
a poem from one of our number, Venator, who wrote the below poem as a tribute to those who ply unknown seas. It is out of our
period, but because the author is a Nova
Roman, I thought the inclusion of this
excellent piece of work was suitable.

Respectfully Submitted;

<div class="scriptum">

Salvete Omnes,

As there is a US national holiday today to honor one man who (with the help of many) "discovered" theAmericas; thought I'd present another view.

I wrote this poem to commerate the voyage of Leif the Lucky Ericksson.

It also springs from the feelings I have for this land upon which my forebears first set foot long ago.

To Vinland 
Early Fall in the 
1001st year of Vinland 
Reckoning

Foamy necked waves 
break oer the shoal 
Racing to wash, 
granite toothed beach 
Greenish sea moss, 
garlands the rocks 
Dark, wet and grey, 
set in the sand

The land ever waits, 
patient and hard 
Always unchanged, 
uncaring, still 
Beckoning those, who 
hear the call 
Find me, find me, I 
lie in wait

Oaken sea steed, 
dances in mist 
Crossing whale way, 
gull road taken 
Into sunset, onward to 
West 
Driven to prove, tales 
of new land

Ship's crew sings out, 
words to the sky 
Odin, Ægir, Thor speed 
our way 
Trust in the Gods, and 
strength of back 
Steersman holds board, 
sets a true course

Long are the nights, 
longer the days 
Grey backed swells, 
endlessly same 
Evening stars bright, 
lead ever on 
Darkened sky sheep, 
cloud gift fills kegs

Noise comes to ear, 
watcher hears roar 
Breakers tumbling, 
whispering birds 
Fading mist lifts, 
sight to behold 
Lowslung land dark, 
oertopped with green

Beyond the beach, 
river's mouth gapes 
Calling the crew, 
travel this way 
Longship slips in, 
trout home to wend 
Pull to the bank, 
landsmen again

Uneasy heads, fitfully 
rest 
Dreaming a dream, 
unproven land 
Unproven folk, 
unproven wealth 
Unproven Gods, 
unproven Fate

Wake to the dawn, Sun 
smiling warm 
Heavy branched trees, 
round fragrant lea 
Firs like at home, and 
grasses too 
Eagle's shrill cry, 
splits morning calm

Sights to behold, 
richness of beasts 
Branch antlered stag, 
bushy tailed squirrel 
Trees of strange hue, 
flowers not known 
Wild grapes found, 
Vinland is named

Old crewman dies, tree 
falls awry 
Grave hole is dug, 
then mound is raised 
Kin bones in earth, 
strange place no more 
Witnessed by death, 
Land Bond is made

Timber and fur, fruit, 
fish, and drink 
Ship is laden, cargo 
for home 
East points the prow, 
foam trail behind 
Trackless travel, 
wooden hull glides

Tales of new land, 
rumor no more 
Place now to go, 
homesteads to build 
Wealth to be had, 
cargoes to gain 
Hofs to hallow, 
children to bear

Long the years pass, 
many ships sail 
From many lands, head 
to the West 
Making a Home for Kin 
and Kith 
Seeking ever frontiers 
to tread

Foamy necked waves 
break oer the shoal 
Racing to wash, 
granite toothed beach 
Greenish sea moss, 
garlands the rocks 
Dark, wet and grey, 
set in the sand

The land ever waits, 
patient and hard 
Always unchanged, 
uncaring, still 
Beckoning those, who 
hear the call 
Find me, find me, I 
lie in wait 

valete - Venii
