The Town Crier Calls at Dawn (Pueblo)

THE TOWN CRIER CALLS AT DAWN TO ANNOUNCE THE FEAST

PUEBLO

All people awake, open your eyes, arise,
Become children of light, vigorous, active, sprightly.
Hasten clouds from the four world quarters;
Come snow in plenty, that water may be abundant when summer comes;
Come ice, cover the fields, that the planting may yield abundance,
Let all hearts be glad!
The knowing ones will assemble in four days;
They will encircle the village dancing and singing songs…
That moisture may come in abundance.
