Ours are the [makoro?] gliding, Deep in the shady pool ; For our spear is sure, and the pray [secure?] Kanin or the bright gharool. Our lubras sleep by the bato clear, That the Amygest's tract hath never been near. -------------- Ours is the Koolema flowing With precious Kirrika stored ; For fleet the foot, and keen the eye, That seeks the nukkung's [haard?] ;- And the glances are bright, and the foot slips are free; When we dance in the shade of the Karakon tree. ----- ,, ------ Note Gibber gunya - Cave in the rock - Turruna and Berrambo - War arms Wanga - a species of pigeon Makoro - Fish Amygest - White fellow Kanim - Eel Gheerol - Mallot Bato - Water Kirrika - Honey Nukkung - Wild Lea Karrakun = The Oak tree ------------
