In beauty may I walk All day long may I walk. Through the returning seasons may I walk. Beautifully will I possess again. Beautifully birds . . . Beautifully joyful birds On the trail marked with pollen may I walk. With grasshoppers about my feet may I walk. With dew about my feet may I walk. With beauty may I walk. With beauty before me, may I walk. With beauty behind me, may I walk. With beauty above me, may I walk. With beauty below me, may I walk. With beauty all around me, may I walk. In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk. In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk. It is finished in beauty. It is finished in beauty. A Navajo Indian Prayer of the Second Day of the Night Chant (anonymous) (This prayer is part of a nine-day Navajo ritual called the Night Chant.)
