{Sun Men} We sailed three hundred strong For the far Barbaree; Our voyage has been most long For the far Barbaree; So--it's a long pull, Give a strong pull, For the far Barbaree. We sailed the oceans wide For the coast of Barbaree; And left our ship a sinking On the coast of Barbaree; So--it's a long pull, Give a strong pull, For the far Barbaree. Our ship went fast a-lee On the rocks of Barbaree; That's why we quit the sea On the rocks of Barbaree. So--it's a long pull, Give a strong pull, For the far Barbaree. We quit the bitter seas On the coast of Barbaree; To seek the savag-ees Of the far Barbaree. So--it's a long pull, Give a strong pull, For the far Barbaree. Our feet are lame and sore In the far Barbaree; From treading of the shore Of the far Barbaree. So--it's a long pull, Give a strong pull, For the far Barbaree. A weary brood are we In the far Barbaree; Sea cunies of the sea In the far Barbaree. So--it's a long pull, Give a strong pull, For the far Barbaree. {Sun Man} _(Who alone carries a musket, and who is evidently captain of the wrecked company)_ No farther can we go this night. Mayhap to-morrow we may find the savages and food. _(He glances about.)_ This far world grows noble trees. We shall sleep as in a temple. {First Sea Cuny} _(Espying Red Cloud, and pointing.)_ Look, Captain! {Sun Man} _(Making the universal peace-sign, arm raised and out, palm-outward.)_ Who are you? Speak. We come in peace. We kindness seek. {Red Cloud} _(Advancing out of the shadow.)_ Whence do you come? {Sun Man} From the great sea. {Red Cloud} I do not understand. No one journeys on the great sea. {Sun Man} We have journeyed many moons. {Red Cloud} Have you come from the sun? {Sun Man} God wot! We have journeyed across the sun, high and low in the sky, and over the sun and under the sun the round world 'round. {Red Cloud} _(With conviction.)_ You come from the Sun. Your hair is like the summer sunburnt grasses. Your eyes are blue. Your skin is white. _(With absolute conviction.)_ You are the Sun Man. {Sun Man} _(With a shrug of shoulders.)_ Have it so. I come from the Sun. I am the Sun Man. {Red Cloud} Do you carry the thunder in your hand? {Sun Man} _(Nonplussed for the moment, glances at his musket, then smiles.)_ Yes, I carry the thunder in my hand.
