spacerI was chief


Here I was chief ere coming of the white man;
now is his village spread from this sea beyond my sight.
His canoes are floating villages;
they go by with a great noise and black smoke.
His deeds are mighty; they lead with roaring clouds and thunder-fires
into the blue quiet morning and the white moon-sky.


(?)


from The Path on the Rainbow: An Anthology of Songs and Chants from The Indians of North America,
edited by George W. Cronyn, Boni & Liveright, 1918 and 1934
