Where my kindred dwell, there I wander. Child of the White Corn am I, there I wander. The Red Rock House, there I wander. Where dark _kethawns_ are at the doorway, there I wander. At the _yuni_, the striped cotton hangs with pollen. There I wander, Going around with it. There I wander. Taking another, I depart with it. With it I wander. In the house of long life, there I wander. In the house of happiness, there I wander. Beauty before me, with it I wander. Beauty behind me, with it I wander, Beauty below me, with it I wander, Beauty above me, with it I wander. Beauty all around me, with it I wander, In old age traveling, with it I wander. On the beautiful trail I am, with it I wander. THE MORNING STAR AND THE NEW BORN DAWN (_Pawnee_) I O Morning Star, for thee we watch! Dimly comes thy light from distant skies; We see thee, then lost art thou, Morning Star, thou bringest life to us. II O Morning Star, thy form we see! Clad in shining garments dost thou come, Thy plume touched with rosy light. Morning Star, thou now art vanishing. III O youthful Dawn, for thee we watch! Dimly comes thy light from distant skies; We see thee, then lost art thou. Youthful Dawn, thou bringest life to us. IV O youthful Dawn, we see thee come! Bright grows thy glowing light As near, nearer thou dost come. Youthful Dawn, thou now art vanishing. DAYLIGHT (_Pawnee_) I Day is here! Day is here, is here! Arise, my son, lift thine eyes, Day is here! Day is here, is here! Day is here! Day is here, is here! Look up, my son, and see the day. Day is here! Day is here, is here! II Lo, the deer! Lo, the deer, the deer Comes from her covert of the night! Day is here! Day is here, is here! Lo, the deer! Lo, the deer, the deer! All creatures wake and see the light. Day is here! Day is here, is here! Day is here! Day is here, is here! THE BIRTH OF DAWN (_Pawnee_) I Awake, O mother, from sleep! Awake! the night is far spent; The signs of dawn are now seen In east, whence cometh new life. II The mother wakens from sleep; She wakes, for night is far spent; The signs of dawn are now seen In east, whence cometh new life. III Awake, O _Kawas_, from sleep! Awake! The night is far spent; The signs of dawn are now seen In east, whence cometh new life. IV Now _Kawas_ wakens from sleep, Awakens for night is far spent; The signs of dawn are now seen In east, whence cometh new life. V Then _Kawas_ stands and speaks forth: “A child from Night is now born; _Tirá wa_, father on high, On Darkness moving, brings Dawn.” VI I understand now, I know A child from Night has been born; _Tirá wa_, father on high, On Darkness moving, brings Dawn.
