still — тихий, безмолвный), by the streams where no dwellers are (у рек, где никто не живет;
dweller — обитатель, житель), or afar at night in the forests and hollows (или далеко в ночи в лесах и низинах;
hollow — полость, пустое пространство; впадина; низина, ложбина), hears them sorrowing for the Master (слышит, как они тоскуют о Хозяине;

shape [SeIp], loon [lHn], lonely [`lqunlI], sorrow [`sOrqu]
Glooskap had two dogs. One was the Loon, the other the Wolf. Of old all animals were as men; the Master gave them the shapes which they now bear. But the Wolf and the Loon loved Glooskap so greatly that since he left them they howl and wail. He who hears their cries over the lonely lake, by the streams where no dwellers are, or afar at night in the forests and hollows, hears them sorrowing for the Master.
The Meeting of the Wild Animals (Совет/Собрание диких зверей)
