Description: This is the song taken from the story about a father who went out hunting, could find no buck and killed his child instead in the forest. But a bird that had seen what he did, sang that it was going to tell the people. So he killed the bird too, but hardly had he gone a few steps when there it was again. Again he killed it and again there it was, and so in the end the bird told the people. It is the parable of a guilty conscience. The reason why he killed his child, they said, was because he had gone out hunting and was unsuccessful and was so ashamed that he killed his child in the place of a buck. A very gruesome story!
