Long ere Kulóskap the Master Had left the land and his people, And before he had ceased to wander In the ways of man, he called The loons his faithful servants, And bade them make it known That for many years to come He would still remain on earth, And that whoever would seek him Might have one wish full granted, Whatever that wish might be.
