Yellow Bird placed Insi featlifi>ii 



Where they fell on the head of the woman; 



."\Iakin>; of her a harlot who ran about 

 With her hands cUwped before her. 



Bluebird drifted at the edge of the world, 

 . Drifted along upon the blue wind. 

 White Wind went down from his dwelling 

 And raised dust upon the eartli. 



The moonshine abides in me; 



And soon you men anil women will see 

 The reed that 1 now am blowing 



Bring the Moon down to meet me. 



Haiya! The gourd is rattling; 



Haiya! The gourd in rattling. 

 When I go to see it there 



I .surely find it rattling.
