Sámi av fjellene og havet

(the Sami of the mountains and the sea)
 
An invisible drone of the Goddess  
Of the lights in northern skies at twilight,
 
Sends swiftly down its single chasing eye,
Racing thru’ the reindeer herds by starlight.
 
It manages to find them, to choke through
To the arid coastline, to the sea folk
 
Luring the juvenile who frantic ply  
Their skill, haphazard, for the plankton fry.
 
Who give out with song of the prey’s malaise,  
And await, at the ready, the blessing.  
 
 
Blow the bone whistle — the constant drumming
Blow the bone whistle — the constant drumming
