My Father’s Song
Wanting to say things,
I miss my father tonight.
His voice, the silent catch,
The depth from his thin chest,
The tremble of emotion
In something he has just said
To his son, his song:

We planted corn one Spring at Acu-
we planted several times
but this one particular time
I remember the soft damp sand
In my hand

My father had stopped at one point
to show me an over turned furrow;
the plowshare had unearthed
the burrow nest of a mouse
in the soft moist sand.

Very gently, he scooped up tiny pink animals
Into the palm of his hand
and told me to touch them.
We took them to the edge
of the field and put them in the shade
of a sand moist clod.
I remember the very softness
of cool and warm sand and tiny alive mice
and my father saying things.

My Father's Song: Introduction
PrintPDFCiteShare.Ortiz’s poetry first appeared in 1969 in the South Dakota Review’s special Indian issue, “The American Indian Speaks.” Since that time, Ortiz has been critically acclaimed as among the best of the contemporary Native-American poets, a recognition that extends to Indian circles. While the Native- American oral tradition, which includes song and prayer, has generally been unchronicled, contemporary American Indians such as Ortiz are creating a canon of prose and poetry that draws on this tradition.

Ortiz’s poetry, including “My Father’s Song,” which was first published in 1976 in Going for the Rain, is strongly narrative. Ortiz has defended his style, stating, “Indians always tell a story. The only way to continue is to tell a story.” This particular poem “continues” by remembering a moment in which his father passed on to him the reverence for the earth and for its living creatures. The language is deceptively simple and conversational, presenting images with full significance. Ortiz has said, “I try to listen to the voices of the people back home and use their sounds to direct my composition.” The impulse for “My Father’s Song” is the desire to hear his father’s voice, engendered by his own need to “say things.” In addition to this active practice of the oral traditions of his people and the basic philosophy they represent, Ortiz works to present in his poetry the specifics of his life as a Native American in such a way that the poems can achieve a more universal significance. In other words, the value of his poetry is not in presenting the life of the Native American as a cultural artifact, but in presenting the life of the Native American as one version of a contemporary American life.

My Father's Song Summary
Lines 1–6
It seems at first that the speaker is missing his father because he expresses a wish to say things to him. However, in line 3, it becomes apparent that it is his father’s voice the son misses. He remembers it as a physical thing coming from his father’s body. His father’s voice becomes through the image of his “chest” a solid physical entity stronger than that “thin chest.”

Line 7
This line provides a powerful transition between the two stanzas. The father’s voice in the first stanza is speaking to his son, and what is to follow is the persona’s “song” to his father, the poem that tells the story developed out of the memories. The two words, however, “son” and “song,” by their closeness to one another in sound and sight, communicate that the persona himself understands that he is, in a way, his father’s “song” by being his “son.”

Lines 8–10
The storytelling technique of repetition functions in an almost incantatory fashion here to lead readers into a place where memory is real. Lines 8 and 9 both begin “We planted,” and lines 9 and 10 play on the word “time.”

It is characteristic of the oral storytelling mode that the teller talk his or her way into the tale, not leaving out the steps to getting there. Western storytelling, in contrast, generally values a more finished story product. Readers follow the persona in this poem through the general statement of line 8, to an explanation that this planting was one of many plantings, finally closing in on the one particular story or memory he wants to relate.

原文：
Wanting to say things,
I miss my father tonight.
His voice, the silent catch,
the depth from his thin chest,
the tremble of emotion
in something he has just said
to his son, his song:

We planted corn one Spring at Acu
—

we planted several times
But this one particular time
I remember the soft damp sand
in my hand

My father had stopped at one point
to show me an overturned furrow;
the plowshare had unearthed
the burrow nest of a mouse
in the soft moist sand.

Very gently, he scooped tiny pink animals
into the palm of his hand
and told me to touch them.
We took them to the edge
of the field and put them in the shade
of a sand moist clod

I remember the very softness
of cool and warm sand and tiny alive mice
and my father saying things. //

Theme
Phrases such as "actions speak louder than words" highlight the notion that to be
credible language must be accompanied by corresponding behavior. Ortiz's poem
underscores this point. Although the speaker opens the poem by saying that he

misses his father's voice, he does not say that he misses what
his father says. Rather,Ortiz emphasizes the physical qualities of voice such as "theslight catch" and "the tremble of emotion" when his father speaks. What he really misses is his father's presence, the way in which he interacted with him. By describing his memory of hs father showing him the overturned
furrow and placing newborn
mice in his hands,
Ortiz highlights behavior, not words.

Style
"My Father's Song" takes the shape of a simple first person childhood memory story.
It is structured into five stanzas of varying length. The syntax is conversational, with
the punctuation simply marking pauses and stops.
Critical Overview
Andrea-Bess Baxter extols the 1991 publication of
Woven Stone
, which includes "My
Father's Song," as "a testament to Simon Ortiz's influential career." Bax
ter
emphasizes the importance of this volume as a collection of previously published
poetic works that "use oral histories, narratives, and stories" and are based on
"memories of a traditional upbringing at Acoma Pueblo, New Mex
ico," intertwined with
contemporary ex
periences. She notes Ortiz's clear commitment to "native survival and
endurance," but contends that "Ortiz's gift lies in making us aware of our own
personal responsibility." This manifests itself powerfully in the simple story told in "My
Father's Song."

Many critics see Ortiz's work as part of a contemporary Native-American renaissance.
Ortiz himself has suggested that such a critical evaluation denies the ongoing oral
tradition intrinsic to Native-American culture. In "My Father's Song," poet Simon J. Ortiz accomplishes a very difficult task. The poem manages to render a nonverbal ex
perience in printed words. This is something
