Reindeer, rightful reindeer,
friend of birds, friend of owls :
they nest in your branches.
Happy who shelters thoughts
Happier who shelters birds
Brown reindeer in the brown plain
like an old blood stain
on autumn leaves
White reindeer on the white snow
like the silence of the Beloved
amidst the silence
(Yakutia)
