Rolling eyerything beneath it.

Rolling everything beneath it. Thus the mountain with it's warriors, With it's sunshine, with it's shadows, All were buried in the waters Save the pious old Nakentis. She stood on the very summit, With her hands stretch'd toward the tempest And the sunken mountain left her Standing on an island praying. Thus was Mashapaug created. And the fisher oft at sunset, When the light shines through the water, Sees beneath him trees and wigwams. And at eve they see Nakentis With torch glide OCT the meadows, Seeking for her wayward people, Seeking for her lost Nokemo.
