Tewa Song

By William H. Simpson


From “Along Old Trails” ABOVE the lands,
Above the seas,
You see, you know,
All mysteries—
Sun Old Man,	5
Moon Old Man!

Would I could fly
On widespread wing
Where whirlpools are
And flame-tips sing—	10
Sun Old Man,
Moon Old Man!

Die in the sea,
And rise at morn;
Thus would I go,	15
And thus be born—
Sun Old Man,
Moon Old Man!
