430 Then we made an end of this. 



Now that this is at an end, 



The ones who are our fathers 



From their abode set witli moun- 

 tains, 



Set with lakes, 

 435 Making their roads come forth. 



Making their roads come hither, 



Tliey have passed you on your 

 roads. 



This night. 



Bringing all their good fortune, 

 440 They have passed you on your 

 roads. 



Their seeds of corn: the yellow 

 ones, 



The blue ones. 



The red ones, 



The white ones, 

 445 The speckled ones. 



The black ones. 



The sweet corn seeds; 



All the different clans of beans, 



The yellow beans, 

 450 The blue beans, 



The red beans, 



The white beans, 



The many colored beans. 



The black beans. 



The string beans. 



The small beans. 



The little spotted beans, 



All the different tiny beans; 



With all these seeds binidled about 

 our waists, 

 460 We have passed you on your roads. 



And then also the seeds of all the 

 forest trees: 



The seeds of the pinon tree. 



The seeds of the oak tree, 



The seeds of the first-flowering 

 shrub, 

 465 The seeds of all the small shrubs; 



And then aU the ancient round 

 ones: 



The striped squash. 



The crooked-neck squash, 



The watermelons, 

 470 The sweet melons, 



The gourds; 



The seeds of the large yucca, 



The seeds of the small yucca. 



The seeds of the cactus.
