Doorways

In Tsegihi (oh you dwell!)
In the house made of dawn,
In the house made of the evening twilight,
In the house made of the dark cloud,
In the house made of the he-rain,
In the house made of the dark mist,
In the house made of the she-rain,
In the house made of pollen,
In the house made of grasshoppers,
Where the dark mist curtains the doorway...
—"Tsegihi The House Made of Dawn,"
from Memoirs of the American Folk-Lore Society, Volume V, 1897.
