Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 5, sentence 42
Now the third went merrily on, Tramping along through the woods, When it flashed upon his mind In an instant, that Kulóskap Had bestowed on him a gift; And, without the slightest heed To what the Master had said Of waiting till he got home, He took out the magic root And ate it, then and there; When all at once he found He could utter the magic cry Which startles all who hear it, Inspiring them to joy And making them laugh aloud; Then, as it rang afar O’er many a forest dale Waking the ringing echo Of the far-distant hill, Until it was answered by A solemn snowy owl, He felt that he had won A wondrous power indeed; So he walked gayly on O’er many a hill and dale, Whistling or trumpeting As happy as a bird.
Who acts: third, love, Kulóskap, magic cry, ways, forest dale · What happens: go, tramp, flash, bestow, say, get · To what, where: woods, instant, gift, Master, magic root, love · Speech: someone speaks here
