O our Mother the Earth,
O our Father the Sky,
Your children are we,
and with tired backs
We bring you the gifts you love.
Then weave for us
a garment of brightness;
May the warp be
the white light of morning,
May the weft be
the red light of evening,
May the fringes be the falling rain,
May the border be
the standing rainbow.
Thus weave for us
a garment of brightness,
That we may walk fittingly
where birds sing,
That we may walk fittingly
where grass is green,
O our Mother the Earth,
O our Father the Sky.
