Corn-Grinding Song (Zuñi)
Yonder, yonder see the fair rainbow,
See the rainbow brightly decked and painted!
Now the swallow bringeth glad news to your corn,
Singing, “Hitherward, hitherward, hitherward, rain,
Hither come!”
Singing, “Hitherward, hitherward, hitherward, white cloud,
Hither come!”
Now we hear the corn-plants murmur,
“We are growing everywhere!”
Hi, yai, the world, how fair!
