e fishermen and set out into the wilderness	A
	-
And the moon was still high when they came to the hut of an aged man	B
who greeted the Shaman like an old friend He was one of the exiles of Bar the last one	C
	-
His hut shaded by a broad apple tree full of the nests of doves	D
and singing with locusts was secluded and peaceful	E
	-
And that old man set before his guests a pewter pitcher bread and red apples	F
and then he began after his wont a talk of olden times and of men already dead	G
	-
For he knew not at all that there was a new generation in Poland	H
and new knights and new martyrs	I
and he did not wish to know of it being a man of the past	J
	-
And there was in him now no memory	K
but the memory of the things that had befallen in his youth	L
but of yesterday he knew not and he did not think of tomorrow	M
	-
And he supported himself from insects which are called cochineal	E
and from them he paid the tax to the tsar	N
and this was the very day for collecting the tribute	O
	-
About an hour later there drove up before the hut the toll gatherer	P
and having drunk from the pitcher he demanded the matter due him	Q
	-
That old man then stripped himself of everything to meet the tax and enrich that servant	R
	-
And having gathered together all the toll gatherer went out from the hut saying	S
'Behold thou hast an apple tree covered with fruit I must take the tithe from it '	-
	-
Having spoken thus he bade his servants shake the old and spreading tree	K
but the Shaman said to Anhelli	E
	-
'Go and stand under the apple tree and say nothing to those who shake the tree	K
until the power of God is made manifest '	-
	-
Anhelli went therefore and stood beneath a shower of red apples like a man at peace	T
	-
And lo the apple tree was surrounded with a great radiance	U
and the fruit upon it became stars	V
and glittering brightly they fell no more	W
	-
And the sleeping doves awoke	X
thinking that it was already the hour of dawn	Y
and having preened their feathers	I
they flew away into the rosy air	Z
	-
Thereupon the new splendour so awed those toll gatherers that	A2
leaving all the tax they made off in terror	P
and taking their seats in their carriage they drove away	B2
	-
And the Shaman calling to Anhelli said	G
'Let us go hence for the goodman will ask us by what power we do this	C2
and that is a mystery	K
and the meaning of these stars is a mystery '	-
	-
So saying he wrapped himself and Anhelli in darkness and they departed	D2
