Reading Diary A: The Song of Hiawatha

The Four Winds- Long have been at war together; Now you find that we are strongest, You go sneaking in the forest, You go hiding in the mountains! Day by day he gazed upon her, Day by day he sighed with passion, Day by day his heart within him Grew more hot with love and longing For the maid with yellow tresses.


Hiawatha's Childhood- But she heeded not the warning, Heeded not those words of wisdom, And the West-Wind came at evening, Walking lightly o'er the prairie, Whispering to the leaves and blossoms, Bending low the flowers and grasses

Hiawatha and Mudjekeewis- Out of childhood into manhood Now had grown my Hiawatha, Skilled in all the craft of hunters, Learned in all the lore of old men, In all youthful sports and pastimes, In all manly arts and labors.
