Winnowing song; Anatolia

October 24, 1980

On the way to Alajahulik Boys and girls in the stubbled field White wind in the golden pile Blow the chaff from the grain. Toss high the kernels Let the fair wheat rain On the earthen threshing floor Wind blow the chaff from the grain. Blur sky of autumn harvest Bright dresses billowing Wind stirring the girls' black hair Blow the chaff from the grain.
