O children! For the life of the earth-born is not long upon earth.\nI now go forth in swiftness--to the sweet songs I go forth--to the flowers of fragrance, O friends! O children!\nO h\u00e9! I sang aloud, O h\u00e9! I rained song blossoms as I sped!\nLet us go forth to the four ways! I, the singer, shall find and bring forth the flowers. Let us be glad while we live--hark to my song of joy!\nI, the poet, cry out a song for a place of joy--a radiant song which descends to the Underworld, and there turns and echoes back to you!\nI seek neither vestments or riches, O friends! O children! but a song for a place of joy!","title":"Pagan Prayers: Prayer of the Singer (Mexican)","type":"page"}
