332 THE HAKO, A PAWNEE CEREMONY [eth. ax.v. K 



II 



Give heedl The. bird of whom we are telling 



Sends the dreams to us, when draweth the night time near; 



Kawas, she that is sending 



Holy visions, bringing, silently bringing peace. 



Ill 



Give heed! The liirds of whom we are telling 



Climb with dreams to iis. when draweth the night time near; 



Down the path they are dimlring: 



Where the gods to men are traveling come they down. 



IV 



They climb, these birds: a dream each is bearing; 



Bear they dreams to lis, when draweth the night time near; 



Kawas — she that is sending 



Down the birds with dreams: so faithful the Hako birds! 



V 



Then back they speed, the bird.s that were liringing 



Down the dreams that come when draweth the night time near: 



Birds and dreams are ascending 



Where the gods are dwelling, watching there over men. 



VI 



Now this we know in truth — where are resting 



Dreams that come to us when draweth the night time near; 



True it is that he did see them; 



In a vision saw he Katasha. where they dwell.

Mother Corn! Mother Corn! We pray thee. 



Be our leader, foes entrapping! 



Trusting in thee, we wander far. yet we .see no foe; 



Food is gone, hope is dead within us. 



II 



Then in dreams Mother Corn spoke to me: 



" I will lead you. foes entrapping! 



•• Testing your courage, far have I let you go astray; 



•' Rise, my child, follow me to vicfry! "
