Sweet Medicine’s Earth

SWEET MEDICINE’S EARTH

The solid sky,
the cloudy sky,
the good sky,
the straight sky.

The earth produces herbs.
The herbs cause us to live.
They cause long life.
They cause us to be happy.

The good life,
may it prevail with the air.
May it increase.
May it be straight to the end.

Sweet medicine’s earth is good.
Sweet medicine’s earth is completed.
Sweet medicine’s earth follows the eternal ways.
Sweet medicine’s earth is washed and flows.
