I woke and stood on wooden planks,
And did not know just what to think;
For here I stood and turned and looked
Upon this scene from a strange book.
Beside the dock there where I stood,
Quite a wondrous ship of wood;
Where in the sea mysteriously sat
A ship half sunk except the masts.
I walked ahead and up some stairs
I saw tall trees grew everywhere;
And on a hill I saw adhered
A huge gigantic Metal gear;
Up I walked and onto grass
And looked upon buildings atlast;
The first was dark and full of stars
But none that I had seen before;
Outside I walked and found a note
That a strange man named Atrus wrote.
I saw it was to one Katran
About a place I had not been;
