Now oni- eyes look on him who is here: 

 He is as the Son we have sought: 

 He brings us again tidings of the Son: 

 '■ Fatlier, come to me. here I sit 

 Waiting here for thee." 



The Ku'raluis first touched tlie child with the ear of corn (second 

 song), singing- the same song as when the eai- of corn made its myste- 

 rious journey to the sky and received its authority to lead in the cere- 

 mony (first ritual, fiftli song). The power granted at that time was 

 for this ultimate purpose, to make the paths and open the way for the 

 child to receive the gift of fruitfulness.
