Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 6, sentence 107

So they left their home in the spring When the bluebird began his song, And walked till the autumn frosts, And then into the winter, Ever steadily onward Till the next midsummer came; And being in a forest They found a winding path Which they followed till they came To a very beautiful river Which led to a great fair lake; And still they kept to the path, Yet where it failed, the trees Were blazed, or the bark removed On the side of the trunk, but ever Opposite to the place Where the wigwam or village lies Towards which the pathway leads, So the mark can aye be seen As the traveller goes to the goal, But not while leaving it.

Who acts: Twas, bluebird, autumn, next midsummer, beautiful river, midsummer · What happens: leave, begin, walk, frost, come, be · To what, where: home, song, forest, winding path, beautiful river, side
