The Wanderer Lyrics
Upon an icy sea
I sailed far from home
My kinsmen slain, serf and thane
I am a wanderer alone
I buried long ago
In earth my lord and king
Now all are gone - that once I knew
And now alone my soul I sing
Carried by winter’s icy breeze
Wanderer wandering wintery seas
In dreams the mead-hall shines
The wine and honey flow
Then I awake - to find myself
In frost, and hail, and wind , and snow
This middle earth so bright
Now withers and decays
And I must wait in silence great
For warmer, kinder, happier days
Carried by winter’s icy breeze
Wanderer wandering wintery seas
Like dust into the air
All that lives must die
But in the heart of Father God
Therein all hope and faith must lie
I sailed far from home
My kinsmen slain, serf and thane
I am a wanderer alone
I buried long ago
In earth my lord and king
Now all are gone - that once I knew
And now alone my soul I sing
Wanderer wandering wintery seas
The wine and honey flow
Then I awake - to find myself
In frost, and hail, and wind , and snow
This middle earth so bright
Now withers and decays
And I must wait in silence great
For warmer, kinder, happier days
Wanderer wandering wintery seas
All that lives must die
But in the heart of Father God
Therein all hope and faith must lie
