[this same] bird of the song praises the stars of the night
[and] all the leaders listen [this] song |

| Grammar notes |
As Joshua complains the fourth line is like "a sudden reference to ice hockey in
a poem about daisies" due to a lack of a connector (I probably rushed a little).
I have not my notes at hand, the connector should be something like "when all
that happend then" and should surely be one word in Chleweyish.
I begin to doubt if wombi ("big") is really the way of saying "great". |
