466 THE MOUNTAIN CHANT. 
267. Free translation. 
Where the sun rises, Where the sun sets, 
The Holy Young Man The Holy Young Woman 
The great plumed arrow The cliff rose arrow 
Has swallowed Has swallowed 
And withdrawn it. And withdrawn it. 
The sun The moon 
Is satisfied. Is satisfied. 
268. This song is sung during the dance or alil deseribed in para 
graph 142. The conception of the poet seems to be that, the dance of 
the great plumed arrow having been properly performed, the sun- 
should be satisfied and willing to do the bidding of the dancers, i. e., 
rise when desired, on the pole.
