My (step)grandmother, Ttuai-ang, was the one who used to rejoice about Canopus. She said--
Sirius!
Sirius!
Winks like
Canopus!
Canopus
Winks like
Sirius!
Canopus
Winks like
Sirius!
Sirius
Winks like
Canopus!
While my grandmother felt that food was abundant.[1]
[1. We are wont to say !Xu, when food is abundant.]
