THE NAVAJO NIGHT WAY CEREMONY
In beauty                                      may I walk
All day long                                    may I walk
Through the returning seasons                  may I walk
Beautifully I will possess again
Beautifully birds
Beautifully joyful birds
On the trail marked with pollen                may I walk
With grasshoppers about my feet                may I walk
With dew about my feet                          may I walk
With beauty                                    may I walk
With beauty before me                          may I walk
With beauty behind me                          may I walk
With beauty above me                            may I walk
With beauty all around me                      may I walk
In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty,
                                    lively,    may I walk
In old age, wandering on a trail of beauty,
                              living again,    may I walk
It is finished in beauty
It is finished in beauty
