Thou ǁari shrub (i.e., tough shrub, Dutch, “critdorn”),
Thou who art of strong smell,
Thou who rollest always in soft ground,
Whose body retains the dust,
Thou split kirrie of the shepherd boys,
Thou split knob of a kirrie.
Thou who drivest away by thy neighing
The hunter who seeketh thee.
Thou who crossest all rivers
As if they were but one.
