Re: "Verimak": jumping into the translation marathon

Wow!  This is so much like the original that I'm sure someone
will come along and guess it!  Imagine it rhymed in English
and divided up into stanzas.  If there is anybody in the
process of doing "Verimak" now, I won't spill the beans,
but if I don't hear anything, I'll post the original poem.
