In councils of men and the beings,

Since first in the depths they had being!

But of far ways, alas! I am kenless!

Ha-na-ha! ha-na-ha! a-hah-hua!

The mountains are white, and the valleys;

All plains are like others in whiteness;

And even the light of our father

The Sun, as he rises and passes,

Makes all ways more hidden of whiteness!

For in brightness my eyes see but darkness—
