The chatter of a death-demon from a tree-top

The chatter of a death-demon from a tree-top

Blood -- blood and torn grass --Had marked the rise of his agony --This lone hunter.The grey-green woods impassiveHad watched the threshing of his limbs.

A canoe with flashing paddle,A girl with soft searching eyes,A call: "John!". . . . .Come, arise, hunter!Can you not hear?

The chatter of a death-demon from a tree-top.
