  Holy 
  Pipe, 
  most 
  holy, 
  appears; 
  it 
  appears 
  before 
  you. 
  

  

  Now 
  I 
  bid 
  ye 
  

   Within 
  your 
  lips 
  take 
  this 
  holy 
  Pipe, 
  holy 
  Pipe. 
  

   The 
  Pipe, 
  it 
  appears, 
  appears 
  before 
  you, 
  I 
  say. 
  

  

  Now 
  I 
  bid 
  ye 
  

   Within 
  your 
  lips 
  take 
  this 
  holy 
  Pipe, 
  holy 
  Pipe. 
  

   The 
  Pipe 
  it 
  appears,' 
  appears 
  before 
  you, 
  I 
  say. 
  

  

  In 
  this 
  song 
  the 
  chiefs, 
  the 
  representatives 
  of 
  the 
  people, 
  are 
  bidden 
  

   to 
  accept 
  the 
  holy 
  Pipe, 
  take 
  it 
  within 
  their 
  lips, 
  that 
  the 
  fragrant 
  

   smoke 
  may 
  carry 
  upward 
  their 
  supplication. 
  This 
  song 
  precedes 
  the 
  

   actual 
  smoking 
  of 
  the 
  Pipe. 
  The 
  music 
  is 
  interesting, 
  as 
  in 
  it 
  the 
  

   motive 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  song 
  is 
  echoed, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  treated 
  in 
  a 
  way 
  to 
  suggest 
  

   the 
  movement 
  toward 
  the 
  Pipe, 
  which 
  in 
  the 
  first 
  song 
  stood 
  apart, 
  

   clothed 
  with 
  mysterious 
  power. 
  It 
  now 
  comes 
  near 
  and 
  in 
  touch 
  

   with 
  the 
  supplicants 
  and 
  lends 
  itself 
  to 
  service. 
  These 
  two 
  songs 
  

   complement 
  each 
  other 
  and 
  show 
  both 
  dramatic 
  and 
  musical 
  form.
