Native American myths.
The woman who fell from the sky (Iroquois)
The origin of corn (Eastern Cherokee)
The chief's daughters : an Otoe tale (Otoe)
The ghost wife (Pawnee)
Changing woman and white shell woman (Navajo)
Bluejay and the well-behaved maiden (Nez Percé)
Now while my needle does my hours engage
Tis true tis long ere I began
Believe not each aspersing tongue
Ann thou are fair divinely fair
I read his awful name, emblazoned high
How various her employments whom the world
In all my vast concerns with thee
Observe the rising lily's snowy grace
When first my lisping accents came
Whence did the wondrous mystic art arise
Sampler verses.
Adam alone in paradise did grieve
Glittering stones and golden things
I cannot perceive this business design'd
Plain as this canvas was, as plain we find
Oh may our follies like the falling trees
Beauties like princes from their very youth
Mysterious heaven how wondrous are thy ways
