How old was Krim Rosü

when he freed

the downtrodden folk

of his native valley?

How old was Krim Rosü

when he set sail

for soil so foreign

to man and to God?

So old was Krim Rosü

when he set sail

that the waves on the ocean

admired his age

So old was Krim Rosü

that Widewuto himself

envied his aged wisdom,

admired his cunning beard
