I was but a half grown boy	A
You were a girl child slight	B
Ah how weary you were	C
You had led in the bullock fight	B
We slew the bullock at length	D
With knives and maces of stone	E
And so your feet were torn	F
Your lean arms bruised to the bone	E
	-
Perhaps 'twas the slain beast's blood	G
We drank or a root we ate	H
Or our reveling evening bath	I
In the fall by the garden gate	H
But you turned to a witching thing	J
Side glancing and frightened me	K
You purred like a panther's cub	L
You sighed like a shell from the sea	K
	-
We knelt I caressed your hair	M
By the light of the leaping fire	C
Your fierce eyes blinked with smoke	N
Pine fumes that enhanced desire	C
I helped to unbraid your hair	M
In wonder and fear profound	O
You were humming your hunting tune	P
As it swept to the grassy ground	O
	-
Our comrades the shaggy bear	M
The tiger with velvet feet	Q
The lion crept to the light	B
Whining for bullock meat	Q
We fed them and stroked their necks	R
They took their way to the fen	S
Where they hunted or hid all night	B
No enemies they of men	S
	-
Evil had entered not	T
The cobra since defiled	T
He watched when the beasts had gone	U
Our kissing and singing wild	T
Beautiful friend he was	V
Sage not a tempter grim	W
Many a year should pass	X
Ere Satan should enter him	W
	-
He danced while the evening dove	Y
And the nightingale kept in tune	P
I sang of the angel sun	Z
You sang of the angel moon	P
We sang of the ANGEL CHIEF	A2
Who blew thro' the trees strange breath	B2
Who helped in the hunt all day	T
And granted the bullock's death	B2
	-
O Eve with the fire lit breast	T
And child face red and white	T
I heaped the great logs high	C2
That was our bridal night	T
