Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 13, sentence 69

And the loons who had been his huntsmen, Go up and down by the waters, Over the snow-topped mountains, Across the rushing rivers, Through dale and wood and valley, Seeking in vain for their master, The Lord whom they cannot meet; Ever wailing, wailing sadly, Because they find him not.

Who acts: loons · What happens: be, go up, top, rush, seek, not meet · To what, where: huntsmen, rushing rivers, vain, Lord, Master
