Explore "The Song of Mokai" by Helen Hay Whitney on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
He's dead, I watched him die. He cast a spell on my mate, They loved, and the moon whirled 'round the sky, They mocked at my rage and hate.
Blood red from the burning sea The sun rose, and I knew! My soul whined wild little songs to me, I did what I had to do.
I have taken the bone of his thigh, I have fashioned it into a horn; And I sing my soul's song, shrill and high, And curse the day he was born.
