Breathlessly I stood and listened,

Heard the crunching of his hoof,

Saw the branches of one antler.

Softly then among the boulders

I crept forward on my belly.

Crouched in the moraine I peered up;—

Such a buck, so sleek and fat,

You, I’m sure, have ne’er set eyes on.

Åse.

No, of course not!
