The Euahlayi Tribe — Chapter 10

'She has gone from us; never as she was will she return.Never more as she once did will she chop honey.Never more with her gunnai dig yams.She has gone from us; never as she was to return.'

'Mussels there are in the creek and plenty,But she who lies here will dig no more.We shall fish as of old for cod-fish,But she who lies here will beg no more oil,Oil for her hair, she will want no more.'

'Never again will she use a fire.Where she goes fires are not.For she goes to the women, the dead women,

And women can make no fires.Fruit is there in plenty and grass seed,But no birds nor beasts in the heaven of woman.'
