chirlo

EN Then, as he wended his way, by swamp and stream and awful woodland, to the farmhouse where he happened to be quartered, every sound of nature, at that witching hour, fluttered his excited imagination: the moan of the whip-poor-will 1 from the hill-side; the boding cry of the tree-toad, that harbinger of storm; the dreary hooting of the screech-owl, or the sudden rustling in the thicket of birds frightened from their roost.
GL Despois, así que emprendía o camiño de regreso, por pantanos e arroios e fragas tenebrosas, ata a granxa onde estaba aloxado, calquera son da natureza, na hora meiga, axitaba a súa excitada imaxinación: o laio dunha noitebra dende o outeiro, o croar do sapo que presaxia unha tormenta, o chirlo triste da curuxa, ou algún murmurio repentino, de paxaros asustados, entre as matagueiras.
