    We shall reach its strand ere the evening falls,
    I my strong and swift canoe.
    And ever more that verdant shore
    Our happy home shall be.
    The land of rest in the golden west
    On the verge of the sure sea.
    The moment the chant was ended Connla, before anyone could stop him stepped into the crystal boat, which in a moment, glided swiftly away and soon disappeared into the mysterious west.
