Dried the foam in their hair to war-bonnets,

Caught his brothers the Wind Gods in order

And hurled them, each one to his mountain

(In the north, in the west, and the southward;

In the east, and the upper, and under);

And rising, uplifted the smoke-clouds.

Lo! the world was alight with the sunshine,

And bending above was the Rainbow!

But the drummer and singers were sitting,

Lifted up by the power of the ancients;
