A Amsister to coyote and the Emsun
But they Amgave her a Emdress of Fcalico
And they G7named her Jenny CWind

She was Amburied 'neath a marker made of Emstone
And on her Fgrave they carved her Cpretty name
"G7Here lies the F7Indian Jenny CWind"

AmLying so hidden and Emalone
I Fwondered who she was before they Cnamed her
"The G7Indian Jenny CWind"

The Amsilence grew till it Emtouched me
And Amheld me like the words upon the Emstone
And Amfor the first Emtime I was Fafraid
I G7would not find my way Chome

I Amdropped my glasses and I took a Emfall
Lost and Fblind somehow I Cfound them
Lying G7folded on her grave so Csmall

And I Fbelieve that her G7soul flies Cfree
And it Fcares for the G7weary and the Clost
AmIn the forest deep and Fquiet
All G7around the grave of Jenny CWind
