VIOLET ON THE MOUNTAIN<br />
A hunter trapped under a snowslide<br />
Three months under a snowslide:<br />
March, April, May.<br />
I broke my bow into slivers<br />
And made a fire with it.<br />
I ate a bear, skin and all,<br />
Is it for this I am damned?<br />
I came out and went to my mother,<br />
She did not know her own son.<br />
I went to my wife’s wedding party;<br />
Is this kismet or what?<br />
The ice had held me together —<br />
I warmed up, and I fell apart.<br />
Send me off with some money,<br />
And I will have fun somehow;<br />
In the world beyond there’s a tavern:<br />
I’ll drink up their wine and get drunk.<br />
Sun, sun, come up<br />
Sun, sun, come up,<br />
And I will kill a pregnant sheep,<br />
I will roast and salt it for you,<br />
Set it on a plate before you.<br />
Sun inside and sun outside<br />
Sun inside and sun outside,<br />
O Sun, come on inside!<br />
The rooster has already crowed,<br />
O Sun, come on inside!<br />
It has dawned already,<br />
O Sun, come on inside!<br />
Dawn if you will dawn at all,<br />
O Sun, come on inside!<br />
You have dawned already,<br />
O Sun, come on inside!<br />
Sleep, why do you let me sleep,<br />
O Sun, come on inside!<br />
I am so unhappy,<br />
