Two Winnebago Songs
LOVE-SONG
WINNEBAGO
Whomsoe’er look I upon
He becomes love-crazed;
Whomsoe’er speak I unto,
He becomes love-crazed;
Whomsoe’er whisper I to,
He becomes love-crazed;
All men who love women,
Them I rule, them I rule,
My friend;
Whom I touch, whom I touch,
He becomes love-crazed.
HOLY SONG
WINNEBAGO
(Saith the Spirit,
"Dream, oh, dream again,
And tell of me,
Dream thou!")
"Dream, oh, dream again,
And tell of me,
Dream thou!")
Into solitude went I
And wisdom was revealed to me.
(Saith the Spirit,
"Dream, oh, dream again,
And tell of me,
Dream thou!")
And wisdom was revealed to me.
(Saith the Spirit,
"Dream, oh, dream again,
And tell of me,
Dream thou!")
Let the whole world hear me,
Wise am I!
(Now saith the Spirit,
"Tell of me,
Dream thou!")
Wise am I!
(Now saith the Spirit,
"Tell of me,
Dream thou!")
All was revealed to me;
From the beginning
Know I all, hear me!
All was revealed to me!
(Now saith the Spirit,
"Tell of me,
Dream thou!")
From the beginning
Know I all, hear me!
All was revealed to me!
(Now saith the Spirit,
"Tell of me,
Dream thou!")
