"House Made of Dawn", a Navajo Poem
-
- House made of dawn
- House made of evening light
- House made of the dark cloud
- House made of male rain
- House made of dark mist
- House made of female rain
- House made of pollen
- House made of grasshoppers
-
- Dark cloud is at the door
- The trail out of it is dark cloud
- The zigzag lightning stands high upon it
- An offering I make
- Restore my feet for me
- Restore my legs for me
- Restore my body for me
- Restore my mind for me
- Restore my voice for me
- This very day take out your spell for me
-
- Happily I recover
- Happily my interior becomes cool
- Happily I go forth
- My interior feeling cool, may I walk
- No longer sore, may I walk
- Impervious to pain, may I walk
- With lively feelings may I walk
- As it used to be long ago, may I walk
-
- Happily may I walk
- Happily, with abundant dark clouds, may I walk
- Happily, with abundant showers, may I walk
- Happily, with abundant plants, may I walk
- Happily, on a trail of pollen, may I walk
- Happily may I walk
- Being as it used to be long ago, may I walk
-
- May it be beautiful before me
- May it be beautiful behind me
- May it be beautiful below me
- May it be beautiful above me
- May it be beautiful all around me
- In beauty it is finished
- In beauty it is finished
