Ariels Hail by Kaija Saariaho Lyrics

All hail, great master! Grave Sir, hail! I come
To answer thy best pleasure; be it to fly
To swim, to dive into the fire, to ride
On the curled clouds, -- to thy strong bidding task
Ariel and all his quality
I boarded the king's ship; now on the beak
Now in the waist, the deck, in every cabin
I flamed amazement: sometime I'd divide
And burn in many places
