Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 17, sentence 101

It was long ago, even in the morning Of the first moons that this all happened; Trees had not mouldered as yet in the valleys, To the cold depths of many a river Fishes as yet had not found their way, And all the secret roads of the forest Had not been learned by the bear or woodchuck; But even then the Squʿtes and Mĭpis Lived all the summer upon the mountain, Sung in its shadows and shone in the sunshine Still as of yore they are singing and shining; And so it will be while the mountain is there.

Who acts: wing, first moons, cold depths, bear, Squʿtes · What happens: be, happen, not moulder, fish, not find, not learn · To what, where: Trees, valleys, way, secret roads, mountain, shadows
