Prayer for a Profusion of Sunflowers
From Ballads for Sale (1927): Songs of the Pueblo Indians
Religion
Send sunflowers!
With my turkey-bone whistle
I am calling the birds
To sing upon the sunflowers.
For when the clouds hear them singing
They will come quickly,
And rain will fall upon our fields.
Send sunflowers!
