THE NAVAJO WOMAN

Eric Knickerbocker
Woman of Navajo race,
Spirit molded like a vase,
Glowing as a silver sphere—
I feel her presence near.

   The Navajo woman, she looks at me.
   The Navajo woman, her soul is free.

A poise of natural grace.
An earnest sad, soft face.
Fair are her coal black eyes:
Keen as the eagle that flies.

   (Chorus)

Her skin of flaxen bronze
Glows golden as the dawns.
Her strength she cannot hide:
Her mien reflects her pride.

   (Chorus)

Standing by my side so warm,
Self-aware with perfect form.
Smell of sweet fragrant scent:
This is what my nocturne meant.

   The Navajo woman, she smiles at me.
   The Navajo woman, her soul is free.

Oratory:
   Her soul is free.
