He called her:  golden dawn
She called him:  the wind whistles

He called her:  heart of the sky
She called him:  message bringer

He called her:  mother of pearl
  barley woman, rice provider,
  millet basket, corn maid,
  flax princess, all-maker, weef

She called him:  fawn, roebuck,
  stag, courage, thunderman,
  all-in-green, mountain strider
  keeper of forests, my-love-rides

He called her:  the tree is
She called him:  bird dancing

He called her:  who stands,
  has stood, will always stand
She called him:  arriver

He called her:  the heart and the womb
  are similar
She called him:  arrow in my heart.
