  take 
  with 
  him 
  all 
  these 
  — 
  the 
  whole 
  body 
  of 
  warriors, 
  and 
  also 
  the 
  

   whole 
  body 
  of 
  women 
  — 
  all 
  these 
  will 
  go 
  with 
  him. 
  But 
  it 
  is 
  still 
  

   harder 
  when 
  the 
  women 
  shall 
  die, 
  because 
  with 
  her 
  the 
  line 
  of 
  

   descent 
  is 
  lost. 
  And 
  also 
  the 
  grandchildren 
  and 
  the 
  little 
  ones 
  who 
  

   are 
  running 
  around 
  — 
  these 
  he 
  will 
  take 
  away; 
  and 
  also 
  those 
  that 
  

   are 
  creeping 
  on 
  the 
  ground, 
  and 
  also 
  those 
  that 
  are 
  on 
  the 
  cradle 
  

   boards 
  ; 
  all 
  these 
  he 
  will 
  take 
  away 
  with 
  him. 
  

  

  1 
  Now 
  then 
  another 
  thing 
  we 
  will 
  say, 
  we 
  younger 
  brothers. 
  

   Now 
  you 
  must 
  feel 
  for 
  us 
  ; 
  for 
  we 
  come 
  here 
  of 
  our 
  own 
  good 
  will 
  

   — 
  we 
  come 
  to 
  your 
  door 
  that 
  we 
  might 
  say 
  this. 
  And 
  we 
  will 
  say 
  

   that 
  we 
  will 
  try 
  to 
  do 
  you 
  good. 
  When 
  the 
  grave 
  has 
  been 
  made, 
  

   we 
  will 
  make 
  it 
  still 
  better. 
  We 
  will 
  adorn 
  it 
  well, 
  and 
  cover 
  it 
  with 
  

   moss. 
  This 
  we 
  say 
  and 
  do, 
  We 
  three 
  brothers. 
  

  

  2 
  Now 
  another 
  thing 
  we 
  will 
  say, 
  we 
  younger 
  brothers. 
  You 
  are 
  

   mourning 
  in 
  the 
  deep 
  darkness. 
  I 
  will 
  make 
  the 
  sky 
  clear 
  for 
  you, 
  

   so 
  that 
  you 
  will 
  not 
  see 
  a 
  cloud. 
  And 
  also 
  I 
  will 
  cause 
  the 
  sun 
  to 
  

   shine 
  upon 
  you, 
  so 
  that 
  you 
  can 
  look 
  upon 
  it 
  peacefully 
  when 
  it 
  goes 
  

   down. 
  You 
  shall 
  see 
  it 
  when 
  it 
  is 
  going. 
  Yea 
  ! 
  the 
  sun 
  shall 
  seem 
  

   to 
  be 
  hanging 
  just 
  over 
  you, 
  and 
  you 
  shall 
  look 
  upon 
  it 
  peacefully 
  

   as 
  it 
  goes 
  down. 
  Now 
  I 
  have 
  hope 
  that 
  you 
  will 
  yet 
  see 
  the 
  

   pleasant 
  days. 
  This 
  we 
  say 
  and 
  do, 
  we 
  three 
  brothers. 
  

  

  3 
  Now 
  then 
  another 
  thing 
  we 
  will 
  say, 
  we 
  younger 
  brothers. 
  

   Now 
  we 
  will 
  open 
  your 
  ears, 
  and 
  also 
  your 
  throat, 
  for 
  there 
  is 
  

   something 
  that 
  has 
  been 
  choking 
  you, 
  and 
  we 
  will 
  also 
  give 
  you 
  

  

  ■ 
  water 
  which 
  shall 
  wash 
  down 
  all 
  the 
  troubles 
  you 
  have 
  in 
  your 
  

   . 
  throat. 
  We 
  shall 
  hope 
  that 
  then 
  your 
  mind 
  will 
  recover 
  its 
  cheerful- 
  

   mess. 
  This 
  we 
  say 
  and 
  do, 
  we 
  three 
  brothers. 
  

  

  -4 
  Now 
  then 
  there 
  is 
  another 
  thing 
  we 
  say, 
  we 
  younger 
  brothers. 
  

   AVe 
  will 
  now 
  make 
  the 
  fire 
  anew, 
  and 
  cause 
  it 
  to 
  burn 
  again. 
  ■ 
  And 
  

   now 
  you 
  can 
  go 
  out 
  before 
  the 
  people, 
  and 
  go 
  on 
  with 
  your 
  duties 
  

   and 
  your 
  labors 
  for 
  the 
  people. 
  This 
  we 
  say 
  and 
  do, 
  we 
  three 
  

   brothers. 
  

  

  5 
  Now 
  also 
  there 
  is 
  another 
  thing 
  we 
  say, 
  we 
  younger 
  brothers. 
  

   You 
  must 
  converse 
  with 
  your 
  nephews; 
  and 
  if 
  they 
  say 
  what 
  is 
  

   good, 
  you 
  must 
  listen 
  to 
  it. 
  Do 
  not 
  cast 
  it 
  aside. 
  And 
  also 
  if 
  the 
  

   warriors 
  should 
  say 
  anything 
  that 
  is 
  good, 
  do 
  not 
  reject 
  it. 
  -This 
  

   we 
  say 
  and 
  do, 
  we 
  three 
  brothers.
