To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You all must die, that the children of men And the beasts may live in peace." 129 Fire Spirit begged her Master great To remember good deeds performed, — How frost and cold she had driven away, How the people she oft had warmed.
Great Spirit heeded her not, but struck The mountain a heavy blow With his powerful club ; and cold and dead Her fires began to grow.
One beautiful little flame was left.
It promised that it would fly Far, far away from the mountain-top.
If only it need not die.
Great S...pirit gave it a gentle touch.
And it took the form of a bird ; From its sides grew delicate, filmy wings That buzzed and hummed and whirred.
A red flame burned at its tiny throat — On its back flashed burnished gold ; Then forth it sped as a humming-bird.
And this is the tale I was told.
A. E. B.
130 The Humming-Bird Dancer of air, Flashing thy flight across the noontide hour, To pierce and pass ere it is full aware Each wondering flower!
Jewelled coryphee, With quivering wings like shielding gauze outspread, And measure like a gleaming shuttle's play With unseen thread !
