and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the seamew, and the hawk after its kind,

and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kind,

A brother I have been to dragons, And a companion to daughters of the ostrich.

Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?

For she leaves her eggs on the ground
And warms them in the dust,

And Ziim have lain down there, And full have been their houses of howlings, And dwelt there have daughters of an ostrich, And goats do skip there.

And gone up her palaces have thorns, Nettle and bramble are in her fortresses, And it hath been a habitation of dragons, A court for daughters of an ostrich.

Honour me doth the beast of the field, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given in a wilderness waters, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people -- My chosen.

Therefore dwell do Ziim with Iim, Yea, dwelt in her have daughters of the ostrich, And it is not inhabited any more for ever, Nor dwelt in unto all generations.

For this I lament and howl, I go spoiled and naked, I make a lamentation like dragons, And a mourning like daughters of an ostrich.
