XXXVIII
SONG OF THE HUNTER'S WIFE

Now comes the deer up to our house
He brings the needed food of life,
While we give needed food to him.

Old women deer, old men deer,
We love you! So now come hither,
On the road that we have laid!
Come hither to our house where we
May love you! Eat now this little!
