THE SHAG
Link Copied!
You are the shag, but nonetheless
An anthropological microscope
Reveals the secret
In all things essential
You are the closest
Relative of Faroese man
You work and fish and sleep!
It is no wonder, you’ve lived here long
Waves and rain have shaped you now
Into a shrewd and clever fisher
Greenish-black, you loudly dive
Far into the depths of the sea
Surfacing proudly with your prey
It is all or nothing with you!
Like us – ready to fish till you drop
And even at rest, you sleep so tight
Men could lift you off your rock
Devastatingly handsome and proud
The not-so-shaggy shag
