Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 5, sentence 43
But he ere long began To weary of himself, When, seeing in a glade A deer, he bent his bow; When, just as he would shoot, The wild unearthly sound Broke out, despite himself, Even like a demon warble, The deer took flight and fled; And the young man cursed aloud!
Who acts: Kulóskap, long, wild unearthly sound, deer, young man · What happens: ere, begin, weary, see, bend, shoot · To what, where: deer, glade, bow, flight
