Chief Yellow Lark offers a prayer of invocation to the Great Spirit. He asks for strength, wisdom, and the ability to walk in beauty so that he may better understand the lessons hidden in nature. While seeking strength, his goal is not to be superior to others but to fight his greatest enemy within himself. He hopes that when his life fades, his spirit may come to the Great Spirit without shame.
