ela, the bitter Karela,Shall cover it all! In the gates of these your councils my people shall sing,In the doors of these your garners theBat-folk shall cling;And the snake shall be your watchman, By a hearthstone unswept;For the Karela, the bitter Karela,Shall fruit where ye slept! Ye shall not see my strikers; ye shall hear them and guess;By night, before the moon-rise, I will send for my cess,And the wolf shall be your herdsman By a landmark removed.For the Karela, the bitter Karela,Shall seed where ye loved ! I will reap your fields before you at the hands of a host;Ye shall glean behind my reapers for the bread that is lost;And the deer shall be your oxen By a headland untilled,For the Karela, the bitter Karela,Shall leaf where ye build ! MOWGLIS SONG AGAINST PEOPLE I have untied against you the club-footed vines,I have sent in the Jungle to swamp out your lines.The trees—the trees are on you ! The house-beams shall fall,And the Karela, the bitter Karela,Shall cover you all! 85
