Day-wat-so-to
Sunset
Edged with flaming gold o-je-ra Fire
Rolls of tinted soft o-cha-da Cloud
Formed like unto rare o-je-ja Flower
Etched the brilliant ga-ron-ya-ga Sky
At the ending of on-ne-say-ra Day
When the ga-rah-kwa waded slow Sun
Into the wine-filled tank be-low
And sank beyond the after-glow
Of day-wat-so-to Sunset
Lay the tired great on-wen-ja Earth
At the feet of yo-ga-rah-ska Evening
Bearing balm of o-say-ron-tha Sleep
To red children of the gar-ha Forest
Lodged by Qonthie's fair a-jock-tha Quinte's Shore
When the ga-rah-kwa waded slow Sun
Into the wine-filled tank be-low
And sank be-yond the after-glow
Of day-wat-so-to Sunset
