On the shore stood Chibiabos,

And the very strong man, Kwasind,

Waiting for the hero’s coming,

Listening to his songs of triumph.

And the people of the village

Welcomed him with songs and dances,

Made a joyous feast, and shouted:

“Honor be to Hiawatha!

He has slain the great Pearl-Feather,

Slain the mightiest of Magicians,
