The young men would listen with their hands in their pockets and their lips slightly parted
as if they could kiss the song and in so doing kiss the seal maiden.
What they loved most about her was she didn't seem to notice them,
for not to be noticed is the one sure thing to set a young aflame.
One who had looked at her and had loved her from afar
for the longest time was Red Brian, a young fisherman.
From the first moment he saw the seal maiden, he was enchanted.
So, it was no surprise when one night he leapt over the dunes and pulled her to him
and she didn't push him away.
Far from it. She had noticed him too for a while
and was only waiting for him to make the first move.
He came across the sand towards her singing of love
and like countless young women before her, the seal maiden could not resist him.
