    “A Song of a Navajo Weaver” –
    Analysis
    Introduction
    Bertrand N. O. Walker- About a Navajo person reminiscing about her/his people used to walk these lands and what they saw and felt.
    For ages long, my people have been
    Dwellers in this land;
    For ages viewed these mountains,
    Loved these mesas and these sands,
    That stretch afar and glisten,
    Glimmering in the sun
    As it lights the mighty canons
    Ere the weary day is done..
    Shall I, a patient dweller in this
    Land of fair blue skies,
    Tell something of their story while
    My shuttle swiftly flies?
    As I weave I’ll trace their journey
    Devious, rough and wandering,
    Ere they reached the silent region
    Where the night stars seem to sing.
    When the myriads of them glitter
    Over peak and desert waste,
    Crossing which the silent runner and
    The gaunt of co-yo-tees haste
    Shall I weave the zig-zag pathway
    Whence the sacred fire was born;
    And interweave the symbol of the God
    Who brought the corn—
    Of the Rain-god whose fierce anger
    Was appeased by sacred meal,
    And the trust that my brave people
    In him evermore shall feel?
    All this perhaps I might weave
    As the woof goes to and fro,
    Wafting as my shuttle passes,
    Humble hopes, and joys and care,
    Weaving closely, weaving slowly,
    While I watch the pattern grow;
    Showing something of my life:
    To the Spirit God a prayer.
    Grateful that he brought my people
    To the land of silence vast
    Taught them arts of peace and ended
    All their wanderings of the past.
    Deftly now I trace the figures,
    This of joy and that of woe;
    And I leave an open gate-way
    For the Dau to come and go.
