 |
| The wigwam of Nokomis. |
 |
| Nokomis nursed Hiawatha. |
 |
| Nokomis bound Hiawatha's cradle with the sinews of the reindeer. |
 |
| Hush! the Naked Bear will hear thee! |
 |
| The owls spoke their native language. |
 |
| The birds hid their nests. |
 |
| The birds sang to Hiawatha. |
 |
| The reindeer, Hiawatha talked too. |
 |
| I am Adjidaumo, the squirrel. |
 |
| The warriors and the women all praised the hunter. They called him Strong-Heart, Soan-ge-taha. They called him Loon-Heart, Mahn-go-tay-see. |
 |
| Hiawatha is running by the Big-Sea-Water. |
