Walum-Olum

Walum-Olum

in the beginning of the world
all men had knowledge cheerfully
all had leisure
all thoughts were pleasant

at that time all creatures were friends

wide waters rushing
wide to the hills
everywhere spreading
waters devouring
men and all creatures on the flood of the waters

when the darkness of spirit came to help
all then joined together
all saying
Come help

in other years all traveled
over the waters of the hard stony sea

all were powerful long ago

large and long was the east land
rich and good

shall we be free and happy then
at the new land?

we want rest and peace and wisdom.
