HOLMES ANNIVERSARY VOLUME 



III 



The living sky black-spotted ; 



The living sky blue-spotted; 



The living sky yellow-spotted ; 



The living sky white-spotted ; 



The young spruce as girls stood up for their dance in the way of life. 



When my songs first were, they made my songs with words of jet. 



Earth when it was made, 



Sky when it was made, 



Earth to the end, 



Sky to the end. 



Black Gan, black thunder, when they came toward each other, 



The various bad things that used to be vanished; 



The bad wishes which were in the world vanished. 



The lightning of black thunder struck four times for them. 



It struck four times for me. 



IV 



When first my songs became, 



When the sky was made, 



When the earth was made, 



The breath of the Gans on me made only of down, 



When they heard about my life; 



Where they got their life; 



When they heard about me; 



It stands. 



Earth was holy, 



Sky was made, 



Earth was made, 



The center of the sky 



Mirage in four colors. 



The Gan young people lighted on the sky four times. 



Their lives, four directions they heard about me. 



With pollen speech, 



With my mouth speech, 



It moves within me. 



The holy Gans were in line four times with me. 



V 



The day broke with slender rain. 



The place which is called "lightning's water stands", 



The place which is called "where the dawn strikes", 



Four places where it is called "it dawns with life", 



I land there. 



The sky boys, I go among them. 



He came to me with long life.
