Allan Terry Poet Ballade

Part 1 of Kanteemans Tale

WHAT HE SAW IN THE STREAM THAT NIGHT
WAS A VISION FROM THE GOD NAW-HEW-WHOO
HE MADE HIMSELF IN THE IMAGE OF A MAN
TO SPEAK TO ME: EXPLAINED KANTIOHEE.
I WASHED MY FACE IN THE STREAM,
I DRANK FROM THE STREAM, AS I ROSE TO
WALK FROM THE STREAM A VOICE SPOKE MY NAME.
I TURNED TO SEE AN IMAGE AS TALL AS A MOOSE,
 BUT HE WAS A MAN. HE SPOKE MY NAME AND
 I CURSED HIM. HE PRAISED ME AND I SPAT AT HIM.
I REFUSED TO BELEIVE WHAT I SAW.
HIS MOUTH MOVED JUST LIKE MINE, WHEN HE SAW THAT I
WAS REFUSING TO HEAR HIM HE SAID SOMETHING
 OF THE WOMAN I WISHED TO MARRY.
I STOPPED AND LISTENED,: HE SAID THAT A FLOWER
GROWS IN SHADEAL THAT IT'S PEDALS ARE SOFT AND
 MOIST, TAKE THE FLOWER AND ROLL IT IN MY HAND
 AND THE DUST FROM WITHIN SHALL PERFUME MY
 FINGERS, KISS HER WITH THESE HANDS UPON
 HER FACE AND SHE WILL MARRY YOU. I CURSED
 WHAT I THOUGHT I SAW AND BEGAN WALKING AWAY.
THEN THE IMAGE SAID I SHALL BE HERE AGAIN,
 AT ONGO ( A TIME OF DAY)
THE WORLD FOR PEOPLE WISH ME TO TALK TO YOU, 
HAN A SUN SHALL SHINE UPON YOU AND THE MIND 
OF A MAN SHALL HERE, THAT AT NIGHT HE SHALL 
KNOW, FROM THIS END A BEGINNING FOR
 MAN HAS COME, HE DISAPPEARED IN THE WATER,
 AND LEFTED NOT SPEAKING OF IT. I WENT TO THESHADEAL VALLEY AND FOUND A FLOWER, ONE JUST AS HE HAD SPOKE OF, IT'S SCENT WAS MAGNIFICENT AND LONG LASTING, I TOOK IT TO MAWEE, I FOUND SERVOS MORE(TEN ) SHE SMELLED MY HAND AND KISS IT, SAYING IT'S AROMA WAS SCENTED WITH THE AIRS OF DENOS ( A PLACE FOR LOVERS) SHE THAN COMFORTED ME WITH HER WOMANKINDNESS, AND WISHED TO MARRY , AS THE  IMAGE IN THE STREAM HAD SAID. I STAYED ALLDAY THEIR AND WHEN THE SUN REACHED ONGO ( 3:00 ) I WENT AGAIN TO THE STREAM, AND AROSE THE IMAGE, AND THEN MORE SORSOR IMAGES AROSE ( FIVE)
THEY TOLD ME OF THE SETTLERS WHO HAD MADE A RANCH NEAR THE
LONG-CREEK, THEY HAD DAMNED THE CREEK AND THE FISHES WERE STOPPED FROM COMING TO THE POND.
