Smoke Youth 



Delights in the songs of the masked gods. 



So he says, 



Therefore he goes about 



Greeting all the rain makers with fair words." 



Thus the Dogwood clan man said to all his children. 



' ' As dusk comes on 



Who sings fairly their beautiful songs ?" 



Because of their words 



Mj' inner room is filled with all kinds of riches.^'

 In the west at Flower Mountain 

 A rain priest sits 



His head feathered with cumulus clouds 

 His words are of clouding over Itiwana. 

 "Come let us arise now." 

 Thus along the shores of the encircling ocean 

 The rain makers say to one another.

In the south at Salt Lake Mountain 



A rain priest sits 



His head feathered with mist. 



His words are of covering Itiwana with rain. 



"Come let us go." 



Thus in all the springs 



The rain makers say to one another.

"The beautiful world germinates. 

 The sun, the yellow dawn germinate." 

 Thus the corn plants say to one another. 

 They are covered with dew. 

 ' ' The beautiful world germinates. 

 The sun, the yellow dawn germinate." 

 Thus the corn plants say to one another. 

 They bring forth their young. 



Aha ehe 

 Aha ehe. 



"The beautiful world germinates. 

 The sun, the yellow dawn germinate." 

 Thus the corn plants say to one another. 

 They are shaken by the wind. 

 Aha ehe 

 Aha ehe.
