THE YOUNG MAN

“As clouds of dust from whirlwinds hie,

So scattered quite thy people lie;

And he, Kuchúm,[166] dread of the world,

Is dead, on foreign deserts hurled.”

THE OLD MAN

“The holy Shamans, forced from home,

Throughout the rugged forests roam;

For this, ye gods of earth and air,

Was it that white has grown my hair?
