A Rain Song of the Snake Society — II (Sia)
Cloud priest who ascends through the heart of the spruce of the north,
Cloud priest who ascends through the heart of the pine of the west,
Cloud priest who ascends through the heart of the oak of the south,
Cloud priest who ascends through the heart of the aspen of the east,
Cloud priest who ascends through the heart of the cedar of the zenith,
Cloud priest who ascends through the heart of the oak of the nadir,
Send your people to work for us
That the water of the six great springs may quicken the earth,
That she may give to us the fruits of her being.
