The roaring of the Tasman sea made Sindbad see
the devil in the night, which was quite a sight,
unlike this cousin, tame, his passage was aflame.
Up-mountain Sindbad went windbent, clenched-dent, intent.
A surprise as he came down: the mountain has shed his gown.
Then Wombat came to greet Sindbad. She was so sweet.
Alas, Echidna hardly took part in the party.
The full moon of the South - that’s what dreams are about.
And colors of the East offer the soul a feast.
The mysteries, the bounty… Good bye, wild ocean country!
