TCHIREK SONG by ALTUN

First Line: TCHIREK RIVER / LIES UNDER THE DARK MOUNTAINS
Last Line: SHEEP AND OXEN ROAM.
Subject(s): CHINA - MIDDLE AGES (600 B.C.- 618 A.D.); TATARS; TARTARS;
TCHIREK River
Lies under the Dark Mountains:
Where the sky is like the sides of a tent
Stretched down over the Great Steppe.
The sky is gray, gray:
And the steppe wide, wide:
Over grass that the wind has battered low
Sheep and oxen roam.
