The battle of the giants was raging

The Earth tried to free from the Ice

Who had taken her to his deadly embrace

And shunned her from all light

The Sun rose and set a million times

In the southern horizon

Before he felt pity for the Earth

Decided to save his beloved one


The warm rays of the Sun laid upon the Earth

Ice began to melt - waters flow

So withdrew the Ice northwards to a land

Where aurora borealis glow

In time were water dried

Still was the Earth desolate

No life, no growth but one tree

Suffering of Ice's winds' hate


Of the seeds of this lonely tree

Grew a forest and another and another

The landscape changed to blue and green

Lakes and forests became brothers

Although winters were cold

The land survived and filled with life

Wolves and bears wandered in woods

Not threatened by spear or knife


At a dawn on a hillside climbed a two-legged creature

Wrapped in a hide and carrying a sharpened bone

He watched the land and its beauty

This was going to be his home...
