Tewa Song

William H. Simpson

From “Along Old Trails”

ABOVE the lands,

Above the seas,

You see, you know,

All mysteries—

Sun Old Man,

Moon Old Man!

Would I could fly

On widespread wing

Where whirlpools are

And flame-tips sing—

Sun Old Man,

Moon Old Man!

Die in the sea,

And rise at morn;

Thus would I go,

And thus be born—

Sun Old Man,

Moon Old Man!
