The
makarht is the wild dove, the morning dove, who cries early in the morning. A-who-who-who. She looks like sleek pigeon, only a little a little smaller, with a black bill, coppery iridescent neck feathers ;and dainty pale red legs and feet. She is so 1azy-- Her mother and her father always got up early, and she would go with them. Then he’d stay there, just expecting to be fed. They got tired of her crying for food all the time.
A-who-who-who. They flew away; they left her Now she cries, A-who, who, who….she has never found them. The crying dove is like an Indian without a tribe.
