Song of the Horse (Navaho)

How joyous his neigh!
Lo, the Turquoise Horse of Johano-ai,
  How joyous his neigh!
There on precious hides outspread standeth he;
  How joyous his neigh,
There on tips of fair fresh flowers feedeth he;
  How joyous his neigh,
There of mingled waters holy drinketh he;
  How joyous his neigh,
There he spurneth dust of glittering grains;
  How joyous his neigh,
There in mist of sacred pollen hidden, all hidden he;
  How joyous his neigh,
There his offspring many grow and thrive for evermore:
  How joyous his neigh!
