40 With these we pass you on jour 



road. 

 This day with these our plume 



wands 

 We hold you fast. 

 With these plume «ands 

 45 We hold one another fast. 

 Whenever our father, 

 Saying let it be now, 

 Makes his road go forth, 

 Then also reinforcing with your 



words, 

 The prayers which we have laid 



upon our plume wands. 

 To our fathers 



You wiU give the plume wands. 

 Our fathers' day has been made. 



55 Their waters eagerly awaiting 

 We pass our days. 

 My child. 



Verily at the new jear. 

 Our fathers appointed you with 



their plume wand, 

 The perfect plume wand whicli they 



had prepared. 

 This many days 

 Anxiously awaiting your time 

 We have passed our days. 

 65 Throughout the cycle of our fathers' 



months, 

 Throughout the summer, 

 Yonder toward the south, 

 70 Wherever the roads of our fathers 



come forth, 

 Even with your poorly made [jlume 



wands 

 You have been asking for life for us. 

 Now this day. 

 We have reached the appointed 



time. 

 75 Holding this plume wand, 



Anxiously you will pass the day. 



When our sun father 



Has gone in to sit down at his sacred 



place
