the little owl, the cormorant, the screech owl,

the white owl, the scops owl, the osprey,

the little owl, the long-eared owl, the white owl, ¹ 

the eagle owl, ¹  the short-eared owl, the long-eared owl, the hawk of any kind,

I am like an owl ¹  in the wilderness; I am like a screech owl ²  among the ruins. ³ 

the ostrich, ¹  the owl, ²  the seagull, the falcon ³  after its species,

For this reason I ¹  will mourn and wail; I will walk around barefoot ²  and without my outer garments. ³  I will howl ⁴  like a wild dog, ⁵  and screech ⁶  like an owl. ⁷
