XXXVII
THAT BUFFALO MAY COME

From far away frozen Buffalo Country
Hither now they come with their little ones,
Rapidly now they walk, rapidly they walk.
Even now they reach the Red Bird Cap.

Oh Buffalo Old Man! Oh Buffalo Old Woman!
Come hither rapidly with your little ones.
To Y’o pha k’ewe come with your little ones.

They bring to us long life together
And even now they reach Tesuque!
