The bird calls ring and take to wing The black dog brings the rabbit to the feast Smattering and chattering the animals sing The forest back to peace Full Rejoice Sing and dance Finding voice Light descends On once was dark The King is dead The skull it cracks the claws retract The big cat licks its lips and dreams its dreams Tumbling and struggling a swipe and a swing Once living now it eats Summer sky A pink Sun sets A coyote cry's Darkness falls And back inside The forest walls The figure who had stepped into The land all knew and built a roaring fire Smouldering and crackling the Hickapoos sing A song to those expired For all time
