RIKI
Sayonara.
AOYAGI
Sayonara.—Sayonara, my august lord.
[Riki goes out. Aoyagi, left alone, feels the air in the old way. She sways slightly in the breeze, then flutters toward the steps.
Oh, Kyushu! The silver stream at Kyushu!
[She evidently sees the place where Obaa-San lives. Her eyes dim a bit and slowly she hums the old lullaby:
See, baby, see,
The ears of the wolf are long;
Sleep, baby, sleep,
Thy father is brave and strong.
Poor Obaa-San!
[The Gaki appears.
