Lyric Poem 2

An individual song describing a shipwreck experienced by the singer. Drifting in the sea, the singer turns into a seal. After seven days, he sees land, but has to dive because of the boat. He rises up in the shape of a human and begs the people not to kill him. The people recognize him and ask about the fate of his chief, who had drowned. They believe him.
