By the shores of Gitche Gumee

By the shining big-Sea-Water

At the doorway of the wigwam

In the early summer morning

Hiawatha stood and waited

All the air was full of freshness

All the earth was bright and joyous

And before him through the sunshine

Westward toward the neighboring forest

Passed in golden swarms the ahmo

Passed the bees the honey-makers

Burning singing in the sunshine

O'er the water floating flying

Something in the hazy distance

Something in the mists of morning

Loomed and lifted from the water

Now seemed floating now seemed flying

Coming nearer nearer nearer

Was it shingebis the diver

Or the pelican the shada

Or the heron the shuh-shuh-gah

Or the white goose waw-be-wana

With the water dripping flashing

From its glossy neck and feathers

It was neither goose nor diver

Neither pelican nor heron

O'er the water floating flying

Through the shining mist of morning

But a birch canoe with paddles

Rising sinking on the water

Dripping flashing in the sunshine

And within it came a people

Can it be the sun descending

O'er the level plain of water

Or the red swan floating flying

Wounded by the magic arrow

Yes; it is the sun descending

Sinking down into the water

All the sky is stained with purple

All the water flushed with crimson

Over it the star of evening

Melts and trembles through the purple

Hangs suspended in the twilight

Walks in silence through the heavens
