PROPHETIC POWERS, by                    
First Line: At the place of light
Last Line: By his bright eyes I see - I see - I know


1.
At the place of light --
At the end of the sky --
I (the Great Spirit)
Come and hang
Bright sign.

2.
Lo! with the sound of my voice,
(The prophet's voice)
I make my sacred lodge to shake --
(By unseen hands my lodge to shake,)
My sacred lodge.

3.
Haih! the white bird of omen,
He flies around the clouds and skies --
(He sees, -- unuttered sight!)

Around the clouds and skies --
By his bright eyes I see -- I see -- I know.
