SHOOTINGWAY CEREMONY PRAYER, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "dark young pine, at the center of the earth originating" Last Line: I am restored in beauty | |||
Dark young pine, at the center of the earth originating, I have made your sacrifice. Whiteshell, turquoise, abalone beautiful, Jet beautiful, fool's gold beautiful, blue pollen beautiful, reed pollen, pollen beautiful, your sacrifice I have made. This day your child I have become, I say. Watch over me. Hold your hand before me in protection. Stand guard for me, speak in defense of me. As I speak for me, so will I speak for you. 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. I am restored in beauty. I am restored in beauty. I am restored in beauty. I am restored in beauty. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest..."'TIS MIDNIGHT, AND THE SETTING SUN" by ANONYMOUS "'TWAS ROLLOG, AND THE MINIM POTES" by ANONYMOUS 1648 : FOR COSSACKS by ANONYMOUS A CHERRY YEAR / A MERRY YEAR by ANONYMOUS A COMET FROM THE RHYMERS' CLUB AFAR by ANONYMOUS "A FOX, A FOX, UP GALLANTS TO THE FIELDS" by ANONYMOUS A HORSE AND A FLEA AND THREE BLIND MICE by ANONYMOUS "A LAIRD, A LORD / A COOPER, A THIEF" by ANONYMOUS A LITTLE COCK SPARROW SAT ON A GREEN TREE by ANONYMOUS |
