The Proud Chief
The Sioux At Prayer
Peggy Windsor Garnett
As quietly as little rabbit’s feet,
The morning glory sun arrives to greet
The Red Man as he worships in his way.
For this he asks the Spirit every day;
Before I judge my friend, O let me wear
His moccasins for two long weeks, and share
The path that he would take in wearing them;
Then, I shall understand and not condemn.
