Song of the Hogans (Navaho)
Lo, yonder the hogan,
The hogan blessed!
There beneath the sunrise
Standeth the hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Of Hastyeyalti-ye
The hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Built of dawn’s first light
Standeth his hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Built of fair white corn
Standeth his hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Built of broidered robes and hides
Standeth his hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Built of mixed All-Waters pure
Standeth his hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Built of holy pollen
Standeth his hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Evermore enduring,
Happy evermore,
His hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Lo, yonder the hogan,
The hogan blessed!
There beneath the sunset
Standeth the hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Of Hastyehogan-i
The hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Built of afterglow
Standeth his hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Built of yellow corn
Standeth his hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Built of gems and shining shells
Standeth his hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Built of Little-Waters
Standeth his hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Built of holy pollen
Standeth his hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Evermore enduring,
Happy evermore,
His hogan,
The hogan blessed.
Lo, yonder the hogan,
The hogan blessed!
