WINTU
I
LIGHTNING
I bear the sucker-torch to the western tree-ridge.
Behold me! first born and greatest.
II
OLELBIS (THE CREATOR)
I am great above.
I tan the black cloud.
III
HAU (RED FOX)
On the stone ridge east I go.
On the white road I, Hau, crouching go.
I, Hau, whistle on the road of stars.
IV
POLAR STAR
The circuit of earth which you see,
The scattering of stars in the sky which you see,
All that is the place for my hair.
