my father gave me seeds to sow, when the seeds began to grow like a garden, full of snow, when the snow began to melt, like a ship with a belt. When the ship began to sail like a bird without a tail, when the bird began to fly like an eagle in the sky, when the sky began to fall, the Lord have mercy on us all.
A garden full of cabbage
Here I stand, yonder I see a black lamb in a hollow tree, he would fight the bear he would fight a bull and conquer all the birds in the air.
The Dead.
