Our father has come,
The earth has come,
The earth has come,
It is rising—Eye′ye′!
It is rising—Eye′ye′!
It is humming—Ahe′e′ye′!
It is humming—Ahe′e′ye′!
This is the song composed by Porcupine, the great leader of the Ghost dance among the northern Cheyenne. It refers to the coming of the new earth which is to come over this old world and which is represented as making a humming or rolling noise as it swiftly approaches.
