From the Shining Stream - Blue Flower
With hunters gone, the village attacked not many moons Many killed and all maidens taken for wives, such gloom One flower had the power to fight and courage to wait Blue flower’s fate, all the warriors would burn her by stake The chief saw in her, all the courage of a warrior, facing the sun Blue flower was kept alive, to make the chief his hero sons Spring has come, a hunter immerges from the shining streams, finding his lover gone, the hunter’s thoughts ashes of dreams Singing his vengeance song gathered warriors, took by surprise the village overtaken, not knowing it is where blue flower hides He would burn the enemy alive but she does sigh this blue flower, as the glistening river still rolls on she does know love's power They treated me not cruelly, so the warrior gave a peace offering Blue flower gentle and peace-loving girl from the shining stream Remained faithful in face of death the loyal sweetheart of life not many moons or hearts blue flower, she became a loyal wife. * – Note based upon The Loyal sweetheart , a native American love story
