SONG OF THE HORSE

NAVAJO

    How joyous his neigh!
Lo, the Turquoise Horse of Johano-ai,
    How joyous his neigh,
There on precious hides outspread standeth he;
    How joyous his neigh,
There on tips of fair fresh flowers feedeth he;
    How joyous his neigh,
There of mingled waters holy drinketh he;
    How joyous his neigh,
There he spurneth dust of glittering grains;
    How joyous his neigh,
There in mist of sacred pollen hidden, all hidden he;
    How joyous his neigh,
There his offspring many grow and thrive for evermore;
    How joyous his neigh!
