#806 - THREE SONGS
The curtain of
daybreak is hanging,
The Daylight Boy
(it is hanging).
From the land of day
it is hanging.
Before him, as it dawns,
it is hanging,
Behind him, as it dawns,
it is hanging.
Before him, in beauty,
it is hanging.
Behind him, in beauty,
it is hanging.
From his voice,
in beauty,
it is hanging.
- First Daylight Song
DINE (Navajo)

#807 -RED ROCK HOUSE
Where my kindred dwell,
there I wander.
The Red Rock House,
there I wander.
Where dark kethawns
are at the doorway,
there I wander.
With the pollen
of dawn upon my trail,
there I wander.
- from Song of Dawn Boy,
DINE (Navajo)
