Brother of the Quill

Brother of the Quill Join me in a dance For mother sings nightly And father sleeps within a trance Deerskin feet they'll never hear our steps Through hemlock and the fields of wheat All night long we will dance Moon Mother lights our way And our ancestors shine as bright stars We will run as the wolves And sing from our hearts Brother of the Quill Join me in a prance We will shoot stars with our arrows And wish for another dance Deerskin tents They'll never hear the swish Of when we sneak back in And fall asleep before Father wakes again
