Xa Cuesta abr Jrast nf Slrkap nr elir iSirtlj nf thr ifltion By D. MAITLAND BUSHBY The Desert Poet Back in the time of Nekewasin, my child, Nekewasin the chief of all redmen, There were two whom the redmen named, Leko and Lekae, the suns. For there were two of them. My people raised altars to them And worshipped both alike, And each did vie with the other To first grant my people ' s wishes. Then one day, Nekewasin who was bold and brave, Said to his people: Oh my people, 1 have spoken With the Great Spirit, With Keetchie Manido. He is well pleased with you, And to show his pleasure. He will cause Lekae, the lesser sun, To light the world by night. Hear! Ho eeeeeeeee. Hear and give thanks, oh my people. Then the redmen looked up at Lekae, And even as they looked he went from sight. Loud were the cries of wonder, Nekewasin caused a great feast to be made As the night came among us. The fires of my people Were as the leaves on the trees, Without number. When the feast was in readiness, Nekewasin made all to sing the chant of Lekae. Even as they chanted a silver light Shown everywhere, lighting the darkness. A great voice spoke: I am come, my children. Looking up, the redmen saw Lekae, Not Lekae the sun l:)ut Lekae the moon ; And then they feasted. This was in the day of Nekewasin, The chief of all redmen. (Reprinted from Verses of 1925 WSM
